Jesus did not provide instructions on praying every day, although Paul did speak about "praying without ceasing."
Prayer is an important part of the Christian life, but it is significant that Jesus' teaching was focused on the way we live our lives, rather than on the way we pray.
As can be seen in the related question below, "How did Christians pray?", prayer is an aid to living the Christian life, and a means of focusing on the needs of others.

Do Christians only pray once every Sunday?

Christians do not have rules to indicate that they should pray
once on a Sunday, or anything like that.
When they attend a worship service, on a Sunday or on any other
day, Christians pray at different times during the service.
Many Christians pray many times every day, some only pray when
they attend worship services or during times of need.
Jesus taught us to pray in a way that takes into account God's
plan, our own needs, and the needs of others. See the link to the
related question, shown below, "How did Christians pray?"
Asked in Christianity
Do Christians pray once a day?

There is no rule that requires Christians to pray a fixed number
of times. Paul taught that we should "pray without ceasing," which
could mean all day long to try to be aware of God in our lives.
Some Christians pray once a day; many other Christians pray
whenever they feel like praying.
That is closer to the Christian ideal, than following a fixed
pattern, although some Christians like to follow a fixed pattern as
well as praying at other times as well.
