Is this ignoring The Holy Spirit?

When I was doing something, I had a feeling I should pray; however, I decided to pray later and not right away. I delayed prayer and I thought The Holy Spirit was telling me to pray now. What if He was telling me?

Is that blasphemous? Kind of worried.

Did you pray later?
Don't worry what you did was not blasphemy. Blasphemy is saying that something evil came from the Holy Spirit.
You did disobey God by not praying right away. If you have repented of this sin then God has no problem forgiving you, that is why Jesus died for us, to cover our sins. I am sure by reading your post that you have repented.
God Bless You.
P.S. I guess you don't have to be told this, but next time God tells you to pray right away, PRAY. :)

You prayed, when your heart led you to pray. That is the Holy Spirit which changes hearts. "For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks. Christianity isn't a list of "shoulds". It is a response from hearts changed by the Holy Spirit. Only then can it be genuine. Trying to obey a list of rules & regulations by an act of the will is like consulting a list on how to please your spouse instead responding out of your heart. That is trying to clean the cup from the outside instead of letting Jesus clean it from the inside. :)
 
Yes, right after I thought it was wrong, I did pray.

Another thing is, what if I didn't show people I was looking at Christian sites and 'hiding' the title of the website titled 'Christian'? Is that like denying your a Christian? That too I was worried, so afterwards I showed others that I was looking at Christian sites by revealing the title in clear view so that whoever looks at my computer screen would know. I prayed already, is there more that should be done to be forgiven?
 
No. Jesus died so the Father will forgive all sins by grace, all you have to do is repent, and ask forgiveness and you are forgiven. :)
