How can we know whether God wants us to pray for Him? How can we make sure He is satisfied with what we give Him? I think prayer is only a demonstration that we do not forget Him. However, it cannot be generalized to the extent that He needs our prayer since God is not like us and none of us is like Him. He does have his own world. That's why we cannot fully perceive what God is, where He lives, what He does, and whether he continuously creates something or stops at a point and watches the universe.
Our perception of God could only be via spiritual methods, so we had better stop thinking He really needs to see us pray for Him. If He is really satisfied with this, then our relationship with this
magical entity must be much closer than we know today. We must have a method to directly communicate with Him, which seems to be rather irrational for today's religious thought.
Finally, I would like to note that major religions all have perception of God in them, but they always fail to explain the distance between us and the God(s). Prayer is thought to be a way to construct a relationship with the God, but I have to say the way this analysis is put is just a reason why there are lots of unbelievers on the world.
