When and Where Do We Pray?
This question has a lot of different answers, and thank goodness it does. God hears your prayers no matter when or where you’re praying. Just look at the Bible.

So maybe it doesn’t really matter where your body is during prayer and at what time you pray. Instead, it’s about where your heart is when you pray. Any time you want or need to talk with God, that’s when you should pray. Any place you need to feel the influence of His love, that’s where you should pray. You don’t have to wait for the perfect time or place (or the perfect you). Just pray. God will hear you.
