Think about this: if you believe that god has some sort of master plan for your life, then your prayers are pointless because you are essentially asking the divine one to alter his plan for you and that isn't part of "The Plan".
Maybe prayer was part of "The Plan" and by NOT praying you're the one deviating from it.

Try looking up "perfect contrition" it might give you further insight into RC doctrine.

I used to collect them out of some perverted sense of finding them amusing because they are so appalling.
Prayer is a man made bullshit thing that people engage in to make themselves feel better because they don't want to actually help anyone out in a time of need. It isn't and never will be part of any divine plan.
