Like A Prayer

My prayer plant is behaving strangely lately. So usually at night they fold their leaves upward; during the day they are supposed to be folded down. They have been folded upward for the past few weeks, even during the day! Was there some sort of cosmic change that they are responding to? A shift in gravity that is throwing their motion detectors all-awack? Or maybe there is just more to pray for recently? I've never encountered this before. Does anyone have any ideas on this??? Has it happened to your prayer plants?

Here is a photo from when the days when the plant would fold its leaves down and take a break from praying.
