Listen, theres a concept of tefillas shav where you simply arent supposed to daven for that thing. Theres other concepts of tefillah as well. Tefillah isnt magic, Hashem wants us to help ourselves and do our best and then daven for His help, if we arent doing ours we can Daven but Hashem is not going to answer such a Tefillah. If you dont go to work but Daven your heart out you will starve to death because you didnt do hishtadlus. We are required to do Hishtadlus in every area of life. There’s bechira, and Hashem gave us a brain if we choose not to use it and then just Daven then we are being foolish. Tefillah is when you did all you can and the rest is in Hashems hands.
