Are you saying you are embarassed about praying? Why? Prayer is a very helpful way of coping up with stress and confusion.
I do pray almost everyday.. And to have this inherent trust in someone more capable than us, gives us more confidence and optimism than any human being ever could.
I didn't have faith initially.. but then I cultivated it and made prayers a part of my regular schedule, simply becuase I think it gives us a lot of mental strength and clarity. And really, people talk about having that inner togetherness, and being able to satisfy themselves fully irrespective of external cirumstances. I think it is much easier to achieve that if you identify with God.
