Is it permissible for me to abandon prayer because I was late for its time, believing that it will not be accepted?

We ask Allah to help you and make your heart firm. Know that delaying prayer beyond its prescribed time is a grave sin, and Allah has threatened its perpetrator with punishment, as stated in His Almighty قول: {There succeeded them later generations who neglected prayers and pursued passions; so they are going to meet evil} (Maryam: 59). Your duty is to complete the path to Allah’s pleasure by observing prayer at its appointed times, as He Almighty said: {Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a time-bound ordinance} (An-Nisa: 103). If you delay a prayer until its time has passed, hasten to make it up, for it is a debt upon you that you must repay, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Allah's debt is more worthy of being repaid."
