Prayer is about connecting to God and growing in your relationship with him.
Recently I have been going through a rough spot, and there is nothing that has helped me more than Praying to God, trusting him, and putting my faith in him that he will take care of me. I can testify to that.
Even if you have no faith, God is still listening. There is nothing that is more faith-building than trusting God (through prayer) to take care of things for you.
If you DO pray, do not expect an answer right away. If you have a trouble in your life, Pray about it, leave it with God to take care of, and then don't worry about it. God has a plan for everyone. If you obey him and follow his will, he will give you a good and happy life.
Usually people begin praying when they are going through a rough spot and although have very little to no faith, don't know where else to go but to God. If this is the case, then it is also important to remember to pray to God when you are going through a good time in your life as well. Thank him for EVERYTHING.
I promise you that God is listening when you pray. I promise you he loves you, I promise you he will answer your prayers.

Pray if it makes you feel better, if it encourages success and honorable behavior in you.
Pray to help yourself know what it is you are thinking and wishing for.
Pray because you believe someone or something is listening, and because you believe pray will fosters a personal relationship with them/it.
Pray because ritualized forms of expressing human intention are a great way to encourage bounding in a community and empathy with fellow man.
Pray because your faith requires it of you.
Pray when you feel moved to pray.
Why NOT to pray?
Don’t pray if it makes your uncomfortable, or if it turns into a way to simply complain and find fault in yourself and others.
Don’t pray if you don’t believe there is any point to prayer.
Don’t pray if you think nothing, and no one, is paying attention and if that makes it unpleasant to you.
Don’t pray if it is a ritual that is meaningless to you.
Don't pray if you do not feel moved to pray.
As in all things, just be honest about what you believe and what appears to make your life better. If prayer improves your life, do it. If it doesn't, don't. If you think it might in the future, try it then.
