Does praying give us strength in our minds. What about positive thinking etc etc. What about just ignoring temptation when it comes or turning the other way?

What are you talking about? Fight what battle?
Prayer is not a practice of strengthening the mind like some sort of zen practice.
It's a dialog with God. Communication. Relationship. It involves giving Him adoration. It involves confessing your faults and weaknesses. It's about not being selfish and praying for others who need. That with the word we strengthen faith. We become stronger to do His work, like reaching lost souls, but mostly it's about relying on HIM, not on self.
