A people who do not know how to pray and do not value prayer have less reason for knowing God and for assembling together. Often they come seeking God's glory, his presence, his favour, blessing, healing, filling, etc. Yet they do not know how to pray. Ask them to pray in any form and it will be brief. It will be dispassionate. It will be bland and unfocussed.

Pray! There is more beyond yourself that needs your attention in prayer. In the end it will be good for you too, but the outcomes that are required go beyond only a personal blessing from God. Even your healing does not automatically serve the greater good. Not that these are bad things, you can have the blessing and the healing too, probably, because God is gracious and faithful and true!
