No , I'm not recommending to abandon a life of prayer. Rather, iut is clear that the true man of God will be walking in constant communion with Him, with one's spiritual eyes always open and ready to be guided aily.
Or maybe this isn't the plan you think should be followed? A lot of things don't require greater prayer energy when they are already settled.
When you say "nonsense" you are trying to instruct a Christian who has walked the walk for many decades, FRiend. And known by God and man for doing it: getting up off your haunches and doing what is obvious, not procrastinating.
"Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:
Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us" (2 Thess. 3:8-9).
The example set by Paul and his co-workers.
Lovers of selves ...
“Do you have to pray about what color socks to wear?”
If I felt the need to sure, why not? And I have no reason to believe that God wouldn’t reveal that to me.
