The ideas explained in the previous post make it clear what the value is of praying at prescribed times, even if one isn't feeling very inspired.When someone prays when he feels like it and is inspired to do so it indicates that when he feels like speaking, he knows how to. However, when he has an awareness that it is time to pray and is therefore prepared to do so - no matter how inspired he is or isn't at the present moment - he shows that prayer is an integral part of his very being. It is not just something that he does because he is finding it enjoyable. Like a marriage bond for better or for worse... He belongs right now with Hashem, no matter what.
