A lot of what manifests itself as mental distress is caused by a physical issue. Blood sugar issues, hormonal imbalances... any number of physical ailments can cause you to feel depressed and hopeless. No amount of praying (aside from divine healing) is going to take care of your blood sugar issue. You need to take care of the PROBLEM.
Also, when you are ill, tired and depressed, it can be very difficult to pray. Sometimes we just have to admit that we need help. Or that our neighbor needs genuine help, not just 'a good praying through'.

I'm still trying to figure out what it means to "pray through". I should start a thread.
