Prayer is a stupid pointless waste of time, so why do it?
If you want to talk to yourself, than do just that. Talk to yourself, express your problems verbally and work through them ---- cause that's really all you're doing with prayer.
If you think the occasional prayer is solving your problems - you are denying your own ability to overcome by sheer will power. God isn't solving your problems. You are, so don't give away the credit.
