Well first you have: Matthew 6:5-6
Quote:
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father in secret shall reward thee openly.

But then you have: 1 Timothy 2:8
Quote:
I will therefore that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands.

But Sarah isn't a man.
Following that you have: 1 Timothy 2:11-13
Quote:
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
