What is the point of praying if you usually never get an answer? And if you do it's not what you want?

THE TYPICAL PERSON would probably just say something like, "well it's what God wants, not what you want, it's his version of an answer." But the problem with that is, if we never really get an answer, or what we want, then how do we know there is a God? 99% of the time we do not get an answer and the other 1% is simply coincedence. I don't believe in God, and lots of things i hear about jesus and the bible just reinforces my disbelief
