Yeah, when I was a boy I'd twist the handle on the jack-in-the-box and ask him to pop up. He did with regularity, more regularly than god showed up in prayers.
What you're doing here is a fallacy called "counting the hits". You credit the answered prayers to your god's existence, but you don't use the same reasoning from the unanswered prayers.
You're seeing what you want to see.
