Thank you all for the comments. I am sorry I haven't been here to respond. Just been busy.
I think that if God is mind and the universal substratum of creation, then all is God including self. So in a way the question is asking if prayer is even beneficial since we are that which we are praying to? Should we just live and work hard to make things happen? Or should we do both (work hard at our intended goals and pray for the sake of praying)?
