Yes, praying before important events is like, ok, whatever comes, I ask for it to be according to the greater good purpose which I cannot see due to restrictions of my severely limited individual knowledge boundaries. That sets the inner self to be less ego-driven and more humble. With such an attitude other people will feel and act in your presence in a less competitive, rather collaborative way. We cannot circle out some well-hidden divine presence as an answer to the prayer, though, yet we won't be able to prove it either, only observe the outcome.
