This is how I dealt with the loss of prayer, which I think is actually the realisation that you have no one to help you gain control in uncontrollable situations.
I did it slowly by NOT praying for things I used to pray for.
Choose something small by not praying for god to help you find your keys. When you find them anyway it will show you that prayer is actually not that helpful.
Slowly start praying for less and less things. Exams, beating the traffic, etc. all the way up to healing for loved ones.
If you fall back into old habits don't worry. Realise it is part of the process. I prayed to god to help me find my dogs when they ran away, the other night. I realised that prayer for the minor slip up that it was, and determined not to pray that again, in future.
Finally, keep reminding yourself that you, your friends and your family have really been the ones helping with life's hardships, and they are all still available to you.
All the best.
