It is actually not an issue for Christians if we pray or not. We do. We always do. We pray before we eat. We pray before sleep. We pray at the church. We pray for our needs. Christians pray.
I believe it's the waiting part of prayer that that plays a major role on it becoming an answered or an unanswered prayer. Some just gets tired, then stop asking. Some realizes that it may never happen. Some thinks that they've waited long enough to decide that what they're asking for isn't really for them.
I admire those who understands the principle of God's perfect time. Those whose hearts are determined that what they're asking for in prayer is God's will for them. When you know that what you're asking for is in fact God's will for you, there is no reason to stop.
Pray as if you planted a seed.
Just because you planted a seed today doesn't mean you'll harvest tomorrow. Growing and yielding fruits take time.
Same thing is true with our prayers. In most cases, God's perfect time is different from ours.
Keep praying. It'll be answered when you're ready - in God's perfect time.

Then he said to me, “Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words. (Daniel 10:12 NKJV)
