Yes, I agree it could be different strokes for different folks. I understand the getting so busy that you could almost forget to pray. For me, I think if I tried to keep up with all of these it would seem ritualistic instead of authentic.

I agree. I totally believe that prayer is a personal form of communication and it does not have to be structured. Nor do we need anyone telling us how often to pray. I agree that it depends on how connected we are. Thank you for sharing your opinions.

I agree that we do not have to follow a strict regimen of praying to connect with God. I went to the beach this weekend and that helped me to feel connected to God. I think that is the beauty of faith, our relationship with Christ is going to be unique to each individual. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.Ahbed Nadir wrote: ↑18 May 2021, 02:32 I feel that one should not have to follow a strict regimen of praying just to connect with God. As every individual is different so too will their praying styles differ and God will answer each one equally.

My point exactly, everyone will have different experiences or situations that make them feel connected to God or at peace with him. There's no rigid set of rules for approaching Him in prayer.cd20 wrote: ↑18 May 2021, 12:57I agree that we do not have to follow a strict regimen of praying to connect with God.

I also do this as well. I usually have a very busy day so when I have the chance, I simply pray to God under my breath, talking to Him as I work or go about my activities and this helps as well. Great take on this.That Reviewer wrote: ↑15 May 2021, 10:48 I believe this is a case of different strokes for different folks. I think walking prayer works best for me.

I agree with this. I pray throughout different times of the day (not a rigid schedule, just as I need to), which is different times and situations each day. I try to start and end my day in prayer. I need to get better at memorizing scripture, but it is SO hard for me. Thank you for sharing your perspective.

I agree. Jesus did not have a rigid schedule for prayer and neither should we. He often talked to His Father as He needed to, withdrawing from the distractions, which is also want we should emulate. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.Ahbed Nadir wrote: ↑19 May 2021, 01:33 A thought that I had about this is something to do with the scripture and how Jesus said we should not be like the Pharisees and be praying only for public approval but we should pray anywhere and anyhow, conversing with God about our thoughts and dreams. This reinforces my belief that anyone can pray at anytime.
