Somebody else mentioned false comfort. I'm not sure what that is! Comfort is just, comfortable.
I know what you mean. I don't struggle with it as much because I had all but given up on prayer long before I stopped believing. But I remember back when I could give my burdens to god, and that was really nice. I don't think it was a false comfort. We were taught from a young age that we could feel safe in this method, so we truly believed that everything was better after prayer. Maybe the problem wasn't solved but you knew it'd be okay. I guess the only comfort now is that you can proactively fix your own problems and know they'll actually be solved. Not quite as comforting in the midst of the problem, but more rewarding when you can take the credit for fixing it in the end
