According to some of the people praying is like flattering the God for getting our work done from Him. Others say that we don't need any help from god because we are capable of solving our problems or issues.
In Kurukshetra war also we find that before surrendering to Krishna Arjuna was trying for different solutions. Arjuna was most capable person. But later he realised that all other solutions will lead him to misery in either way. He humbled in front of Lord. He prayed to Krishna revealing his inabilities to find out most perfect solution in such a confusing situation. Lord responding to his prayers offered him a valuable guidance to overcome unavoidable situation. Similar thing happens with us too, we also get caught up into such situations that nothing can help us, all our proposed solutions can turn us into prey at this moment a sincere prayer can help us.
Praying is compared to revealing our problems to the doctor. If someone who is suffering due to disease says, I don't believe in Doctor or I don't believe in his treatment then patient's disease will become worse and worst. He will fall prey to his disease. Similarly we all are diseased with our material conditionings, contaminated mind, our heart is full of anarthas etc. We are in serious diseased condition. We don't have any other choice than surrendering and praying to supreme doctor, Krishna. Prayer is a means of connecting to God.
World is full with distractions, challenges, miseries, problems in such chaotic situations We all need intelligence, guidance to go on perfectly with our duties in this world as well as to go to eternal spiritual world. God as our eternal loving father can help us in this regard if we seek help from Him. Praying doesn't mean falsely glorifying God and getting our work done from Him, but it simply means revealing our incompetency, our heart to Him so that He can make us perfect thus we can walk on the path given by Him in the form of scriptures. Praying doesn't means only asking but also means showing our gratefulness for whatever we have received from God. Praying Also means showing our due respect, love and appreciation for supreme person.
