As far as I know, Christians do pray more for success than any any individuals. You know why? Its because christians are those who frequently pray and communicate to God.
What is your reason when you pray?
Unfortunately, many christians are look warmth with their faith.They habitually attend on church services and sing because all people are singing in the church. But the truth is that they don't really sing to praise God, they just wanted to feel His presence.
People are totally different now, people do pray because they need help, not because they need God. Sounds bad to here but it is reality. Not to look on other churches, but in our church, people don't have special moment for prayer and communication to God. I even remember a person being assigned to remind the people to pray every night? It was a very helpful ministry to remind people to pray. But for me, people should not be reminded to pray, they need to be trained to communicate with God often.
Every Sunday, I've been hearing testimonies from people saying "God answered their prayers". Many are blessed but I was asking my myself, why does this people seldom testify in the public? Are they blessed very seldom? Or they pray very seldom?
We need to be true to ourselves. What we need is GOD, not just a simple help! It should be the outburst of our heart's love to communicate with Him whether we have problems or not. Everyday we face new challenges and struggles, we are ought to pray even before we start our day so that we may be Godly guided to our lives situation.
Again, what you need is God, no just help! If you are truly sincere in knowing Him. Don't ever forget Joshua 1:8, "Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful."
As I read this passage often, I am heavily reminded about God's love. That He wants us all to be successful and have a prosperous life. But there is a catch, we are ought to meditate His words everyday so that "we may know His Will!".
