How many times do Mormon pray?

Answer 1

There is no set number of times that members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) pray. Most Mormons will pray at least morning and night, either alone or with family. They also usually pray before meals. Mormons believe they can pray anytime, anywhere, and it is common for them to stop and give a short prayer of thanks when something nice has happened, or pray for comfort or blessing when they feel they or a loved one are in need. The Bible says to 'pray always', so many Mormons try to keep an attitude of prayer throughout the day.

During church meetings, it is customary to hold an opening and closing prayer for each meeting, as well as two prayers for the 'sacrament' (communion) - So a Mormon attending church on Sunday will pray at least 8 times over the course of their three hour church service.
