As a teen my mind is everywhere fromm school work to the bible to what job I might have. And one question I have is do you think you should pray every night because you need to or you should because I sure don't and and if you should you ask for forgiveness when you do?

Dear brother
We have to keep short accounts with God and when we know we have sinned we confess our sins to God and He will forgive us. We have to repent of the sin and not do it anymore. 1 John 1.9
It is good to always be praying. I pray at night and thank God for the day and just talk to Him. He loves to hear us talking to Him.
God bless

Try talking to God throughout the day. You don't have to be on your knees to talk to Him. It's good to always keep God on your mind where ever you are. When you're at home it's good to pray too. We have so much to thank Him for and so much to ask forgiveness for. The Bible tells us to never stop praying. God Bless

18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." KJV

That's right Benj. He is always there for us. You may love your earth father, but our Father in heaven loves us more than we will ever know at present.
The love God has for His children is larger than anything and everything, why? Because Jesus was His first child and Jesus died so that we could become His children too.
God bless you brother.
Btw. I pray inside my head, everyone is capable of speaking inside their head, I pray that way, to keep it secret and to make sure that I can pray anywhere.
Much love

Benjamin,
I'm going to echo what Cody told you. Pray at different times during the day. And try to avoid making it a project; something you have to do. When you look at daily prayer as something you have to do, it becomes work and God never intended prayer to be work.
You see, prayer is nothing more than conversation with God. If your feet hurt, tell him your feet hurt; if you're worried about how some girl is going to react to you when you speak to her, tell him that. Tell him you love him. Glorify him in simple language. Just talk to him, he loves it when you talk to him.

You've been given great truthful answers here brother Benj.
Fast tips, a summary:
- confess your sins right away (silent or out loud, can hears your heart)
- pray throughout the day. A simple thank you, a question to GOD, request for help, etc
- surround yourself with other godly people who can hold you accountable and help you grow in the Lord
- read the bible everyday. It is like spiritual food. Do you starve your body? Don't starve the spirit either
- Worship music can help when your down, when your meditating, when your trying to get in the mood to listen to GOD during some 'quiet time'
