By praying, you're practicing detachment, meaning you're training your psyche to not become overly attached to things.

Prayer is not a form of meditation. You’re so silly.

I do think it's sort of meditative in a way. For instance, praying the rosary is so much repitition it's not all that different from someone repeating a meditation chant. I assume it's calming to some people.
