Bishop Robert Barron said in a video a thing similar to this (very approximate quotation):
People might fall in various things, but if they don’t fail in prayer (they don’t stop praying), hope is not lost.
I think that praying does one important thing – it makes you admit you have a lower position in the world.
When you pray, you admit that a superior entity can help with prayer, be it for praise, requests, thanks.
That’s the first step to take – you need to admit there’s something bigger than yourself.
Once you have this, you can focus on other things, but you need to start from here.
