Thank you for saying that. I agree. Often in time of crisis like when loved ones are at risk we feel desperate and despite the doubts we seek divine help. Even though we have said and done evil things in our life, including cursing God and breaking all the moral law and commandments while pretending to be a 'good person' by our own arbitrary standard, in times of intense struggle, we can still turn to beg God for help. What do we have to lose?! Pride, maybe.
Without prayer, how often would we actually take stock of what we're thankful for? How often would we examine our shortcomings (sins) and seek guidance to become a better person? As somebody who didn't pray for years, I never did this. Now that I do this daily, I'm a much better person for it.
