The only time I ever really prayed was when I was required to do so for some event, like dinner or midweek prayer meeting. The church emphasized thanking God for adversity, because adversity gives us a chance to develop our characters for the next life. As far as I'm concerned, I can develop my own character perfectly well without God. Other than that, it seems a bit ridiculous. If I'm to take their directions to the natural conclusion of the matter, I might as well pray and thank God for Satan, war, famine, crime, and all other things evil. God doesn't change things for people, he just stands there and says something like, "oh good, that person is learning to trust me by going through all of that misery and abuse." Well misery and abuse didn't lead me to trust God.
