Sometimes we underrate the power of Prayer. Prayer is a communication tool between you and your creator. One thing must come first before prayer and that is IMAN (FAITH). Do you believe in Allah? Do you have the faith HE has powers to do what you supplicate for? Another thing is TRUST. Do you trust your Lord enough to pray to HIM? If you think HE is the only one the can answer your prayers, then pray to HIM alone without partners.
