Act less like Stalin. In ideal world God would answer more prayers. But that would be some sort of heavenly world.
What evidence do you have that he doesn't answer prayers? Too many people think prayers are like wishes. This is MY desire, God please fulfill it. Maybe His answer is no. Or "not right now".
Prayer is turning to God for His will to be done and to provide comfort and guidance in our time of need. It's also to go to Him in gladness, thankfulness for provision, etc. Like a toddler that looks to their parent for everything.
I would of course argue that God has done something to provide a Heavenly world. That is in the work of the person of Jesus Christ, his death and resurrection
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
