Any god there is cannot be a god if it cares for man or listens to prayers. Prayers are deals tiny little men want to enforce onto an entity they claim is unbelievably above them. If that were true, why should it care, then? I do not care whether I stepped onto an ant while walking in the woods, or not. And never I would start trying to discuss my life plan with it. Prayers are man's way to try bribing fate and get recognised as playing a more central role in the universe, than we actually do. We think that if we spell the magical formula right, beside its irrelevance it nevertheless would make the universe moving differently and bending nature's law. But it does not work this way. The causal link people want to see, is just a random event.
If you watch at the cosmos, at least as far as we can gather it, it is a spectacular but lifeless, desolate place that has its beauty only by what humans attribute to it. So is nature - it just does not care for man, not at all. Without humans, things are still just what they are. Many questions we may yell in frustration at this cosmos, but it never gives an answer in return. The only thing we hear is the voice of our own imagination, and the only truth is that which we have attributed to it by ourselves.
That's why I think the only way for us to find some peace of mind, is by listening into the space within ourselves, and trying to find out in what way it may be linked to the space around us. Whether the world outside really is like our senses tell us, is questionable, the only thing we can be certain of, is the undeniable fact that we are undergoing the process of witnessing.
