I would like to show you an example of how lax most Christians can be about prayer. Many people do not bother to say a blessing at mealtime. This is a very foolish thing to do. The food we eat should be blessed before we partake of it. If you grew the food and cared for it, you could be fairly sure of its nutritional value and the safety of eating it.
Most people today eat foods that come from a grocery store.
This is food that has been processed with every chemical known to mankind and handled by many people and stored for who knows how long. God has the ability to make all foods safe for us to ingest. It is a foolish pathology to side step this most important prayer yet many today think nothing about it. The mealtime prayer also gives us a chance to thank God for the provision of the food. The mealtime prayer is a good habit to form so that we are sure to pray to our Heavenly Father regularly, every day.
