You are thinking about God in the Judeo-Christian and religious sense. There isn't a person that has walked this earth that has talked to God. There is a very real possibility that God is ambivalent to our existence. It is my personal belief that God cares for humanity as a species but is apathetic to the lives of people in general. But don't quote me on that, I'm just a young nikka trying to live life until I can't lol.
AND YET...you claim your prayers are going somewhere.
You're accepting the premise god exists without testing the premise...if god actually exists.
