One of the reasons Psalm 46:10 says to stop fighting and know that the Lord is God is because when we are occupied with our daily struggles, we practically forget. Our life places our self at the center of the universe. As we juggle our obligations, complete our tasks, run through our schedules, and consume, consume, consume, we begin to think that we are God. And when that happens, prayer to the real God who covers us and cares for us seems superfluous. What’s the point of telling God about the things you’ve already got covered, right?
