Prayer is the concept of communicating with a deity, which is a complete nonsense process, an exercise in delusion, it is not a functional component of the brain, it is a non-functional product of functional components, an error. What you have described yourself as doing, making (arguably)subconscious mental notes, is simply not prayer.
Prayer:
"the act of communicating with a deity (especially as a petition or in adoration or contrition or thanksgiving)"
Prayer is completely laughable, mental notes aren't.
Simple enough?
