why people neglect to pray?

To be honest,I am a non-believer ,so I didn't pray to him,see you around

I will answer first your question, why people neglect to pray? there are many reasons or some other says alibi but the truth is when you remember, thanks, doing honest, talking honest and fear to do sin is part of praying God means you are doing the will of God. Talking, quiet time, devotion and others way are all praising and worshiping God. So when you are in the office say something praising God like thank God, in your eating also are praying God because you always give Him part of your life... but we need also pray to Him before eating, sleeping and wake-up.. as our respect and gratitude to Him... see you around

You don't need to pray because God already has a plan for you. God knows exactly what you will do and what you want before you even pray so there is no need. God knows everything remember?

why people neglect to pray because maybe...that person might been praying to God, but then the prayers he made never came true thus he lose his faith through pray to God it's not easy waiting tho'

I, like you, believe in a god, but mine is much different. I'm agnostic, which, for those of you who don't know, is basically believing that there is a god out there, a form of deity, but we don't know who he is, and we never will. I have always believed that there is a higher power, but I believe that it is a vastly complicated world out there, and we'll never truly understand it. But I do believe that there is a higher power, looking over us. My family is Atheist except for my grandma and I, as my grandma is Christian, and I'm agnostic. My grandmother finds joy in praying, and she tells us that praying gives her a sense of relief and an outlet for her emotions. Even though her prayers are sometimes not answered, she still continuously does so, for the times that they will be heard. God gives many people hope, happiness, and a sense of belonging. And these things are characteristic of human beings, and sets us apart from other creatures. So yes, let us pray.

cuz even if one doesnt pray, God knows our inner desires. he knows our hearts...

we neglect to pray because sometimes we loose faith to God. especially when we are down or whenever we face some hard time and trials. the faith seem lost because we wonder why does god gives us some hard time.

Yup! You right, prayer is the most powerful tools for us to be away from any distraction of life. If we suffer from any circumstances which almost derail our life. prayer is the best to make us strong. To be away from any uncertainties in life.

I think people forget to pray because they are busy with a lot of things and hardly have time to pray. Probably they are overloaded with work and preoccupied with other worldly things that's why at the end of the day, they are already exhausted. I think that there are people who do not believe in God at all that's why they do not even know how to pray. I hope that they know Christ and accept HIM as their Lord and Savior and continue to communicate with HIM no matter how busy their lives are, no matter how good or bad their situation is. I, too, would like to know God even more that's why I try to make it a habit to talk to HIM through prayers all the time. Like in any relationship, we have to have constant communication for it to work out. It's the same with our relationship with God, so we have to communicate with HIM to continue to grow and be fruitful. I pray that people will not only pray to God because they are in a difficult circumstance or they have problems or in pain. I pray that people will pray and talk to God even when they are happy, successful and victorious. ^__^

Hi Kizao and welcome to my lot. I don't understand why people don't pray all the time. All prayer is talking to God and letting HIM know we love HIM enough to say thank you. I talk to God all day off and on I have so much to be thankful for so I have to stop and tell my LORD thank you for everything. We make it a practice to say thank you and to tell The LORD we love HIM. It is a good thing to pray.

Hello there! Yeah, I agree that sometimes we tend to forget God's love on us, when we are in trouble, we seemed to be so wrapped up by all our problems that we forget to ask His help through prayer. I do pray everyday, this keeps me going and gives me opportunity to talk to God even just for a minute or two. Cheers!

As a new person to MyLot, I saw your discussion and felt compelled to respond. I am from the UK and we don't (generally, however there are pockets of religion) subscribe to a 'god'. Generally most people want something to believe in, but most people find that they are better off just helping themselves. No 'God' has ever helped me, i have got to where I am through hard work, relationships I have made etc. So the reason people neglect to pray - is because it is pointless! I think you should watch The Invention of Lying and it may ring true for you !

i think it mayb because people want answers right away right now and prayer don't work that way you have to pray and wait to see what happens. also they may be scared that god may say somthing to them and they may think they are crazy after that.
