I agree. Prayer starts with recognizing God for who He is, ourselves for who we are, and offering gratitude and prayer to our Creator.

So then how do we introduce that idea to people who, maybe on their childhood or teen years, tried to do just that, and gave up because it didn't seem to be "working"?

By telling them that no one cares about their feelings and to grow up. God isn't a vending machine that you say X number of prayers to and get Y out of. This feelings based transactional mindset is straight from the pits of hell.

It's idolatry for sure if you're after the transaction.
