Seems to me it is always better to pray than not to pray. People will know you believe and that is important. It may well open dialogue with someone to whom you can speak of Christ.
Don't slam a door shut even if it is opened only an inch or two.
I respectfully disagree. That would be like Jesus telling the Pharisees they were all right with the Father even though the rejected Him. I think if we would honestly tell people how much Jesus means to us and that we could never deny Him in that way, they would understand. If not, then we have confessed Him before men.
Matthew 10:32-36 (HCSB)
32 “Therefore, everyone who will acknowledge Me before men, I will also acknowledge him before My Father in heaven.
33 But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven.
34 Don’t assume that I came to bring peace on the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
35 For I came to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
36 and a man’s enemies will be the members of his household.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ divides. That is a fact. It's time we quit cowering in the corner for who we are and stand up and declare unashamedly the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Daniel did not buckle under just because his prayers offended people.
