I stopped praying when I came to the conclusion that I’d not ever received an answer and was unlikely to receive one and that the difficulties I was having couldn’t be explained away. I still read the bible but not the BoM , D&C, or the Pof GP. Even though the the teachings are Christian and moral I just don’t believe the historicity and claims as to origin. It became harder and harder to teach so I just gave it up. There’s still plenty of reasons for me to stay but they tend to be more”practical” as Ray would say.
