Once in a while, not often, I might fell like saying a few words to God in prayer, but I don't do it, knowing that it's a waste of time, because it won't make a difference.
If you still pray, what do you get out of it?

I think that God hears what we have to say. I think you just have to find a place to believe or something to believe in.

I get results when I pray.
God hears our prayers. He answers our prayers to suit our needs and not our wants and for His will.
God is is charge.

I keep praying for a huge pile of money to materialize on my kitchen table but it's not happening. Maybe I should ask God to put it in the garage instead - there may not be enough room on the kitchen table.

Though it may be hard to accept - we don't always get what we want.
God knows our needs and He supplies our needs. What do we give God in return?

well, if that's the way you would approach prayer, then you get exactly what your thoughts are. I think the problem is not in praying, it's your approach to prayer. I thought the same way when I was younger. Then I took some time and research, went outside my religious beliefs to explore how others in this world effectively communicate with the Creator. I takes patience, but the rewards are enormous. Now, I don't pray to "Santa Clause" with a wish list, but to a Creator who can bring peace and calm to ones troubled soul in knowing that there is a plan for us individually and for the world in general. my 2 cents from my experience.... others may vary because of a different approach.
