Up until now, I've found prayer to be useless. Praying to my gods has never done a thing. It's like talking through an unplugged phone. If I want to request something to my Gods, a ritual or a meditation session is required in order to establish direct contact with them. I feel that "to pray" is just a religious version of "to hope", and is overused in that sense. I also find people use prayer as a passive alternative to doing whatsoever in situations adverse to them, that could be solved if they stopped praying and doing something about it.
If I ask you for help with something, and all you can say is "I will pray for you", thanks for the intention, but you're not being useful at all.
This is merely my opinion though.
What is prayer to you? Do you use it as your exclusive method of communication with your God/s?
What other methods of communication do you use?
If a prayer is "unheard", how do you explain your God/s' lack of intervention?
