If you don't pray often, you won't gain a love for praying. Prayer is work, and therefore it is not very appealing to our natural sensibilities. But the simple rule for prayer is this: Begin praying and your taste for prayer will increase. The more you pray, the more you will acquire the desire for prayer, the energy for prayer, and the sense of purpose in prayer. Leslie Ludy
About This Quote

The quote suggests that if you don't pray often, you won't gain a love for praying. However, it is wrong to assume that you can't have a love for prayer if you don't pray often. If you do not pray often, then the practice of prayer should remain something that should be done in moderation. You can still find time to pray on a daily basis, but try to do it in small moments throughout the day. If you are not familiar with how to pray to God, then look up some basic prayers that are easily accessible online or ask for help from a religious leader or mentor.
