As Christians, we are not told how often to pray or what to pray or how often we should read our bibles and how for how long each time. The reason for that is to be led by the Spirit. Not to feel obligated by religion, but to be gently led and directed by the Spirit of God, who does not want anything but that we love him with all of our heart, soul and mind, which we will constantly fail to do anyway. What pleases God is not religious activities, but a heart that longs to draw near to him, to know him more and become more like him. What pleases God is not religious activities but one who establishes a personal relationship with him and falls in love with him. No amount of religious activity can produce that. Only the Holy Spirit can do that. We are not born with this desire in us. That is why we must be born of the Spirit. he gives us a new heart and a new spirit and a new nature. God doesnt want religious people because religion is only outward actions that are done. Man looks on the outward appearance but the Lord looks on the heart. Most assuredly I say to you that unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
