The longer you exist, the more warped your perspective on time becomes. Eons pass before you even blink. For some reason, a majority of humans don't quite get that concept.

What is a prayer supposed to accomplish? By the time it reaches its intended target, you'll be long dead. Also, why should they care about your message?
