only if you think it is

Prayer is only a worthwhile activity if there is actually someone there to hear a prayer. If I think prayer is worthwhile, but there is 'no-one at home' then my prayer is just the same as talking to myself and I am essentially wasting my time although it may make me feel better, it will do me no real good.

Thankfully, God is a living God who can be known and communicated with and as a God who cannot lie, as humans can and do, He has promised to hear the prayers of His people, and He does.

Of course prayer is not worthwhile if it is either 'vain repetition' - a religious formula with no real substance, or if the request is a sin - God has not promised to grant a sinful prayer, to grant something which is not according to his will. In these instances prayer certainly would not be worthwhile.
