Why should I pray for God's care when everything that will happen to me has already been planned out according to God's master plan?
Why should God care if I go to church or not when most people in this world don't even have access to the IDEA of church?
Why should God care about MY relationship struggles if every person in the human race goes through a similar struggle sometime in life?
Why does God have any reason to worry about what an individual human being thinks when he is the master of the universe? After all, isn't the survival of the universe more important than the life of one human being.
Your love.... that's it.
He gave us free will to choose the way our lives go. Perhaps every possible outcome of every possible choice has been mapped / planned but the choice is yours to make as to which one you follow.
Prayer is communication/communion with God. He wants a personal relationship with you, He knows you but do you know Him? Really know Him? Communion with Him is necessary for that to happen. There is no proper way to pray, by the way, you don't have to follow any particular method or anything. He knows what's in your heart better than you do. He wants YOU to know what's in your heart.
I think He doesn't give one flip if you go to church or not. All He wants is your love.
Because He loves you. You care about the ones that you love, don't you? Do you care if they are having problems? Yes, I think you probably do. Same with God.
Every one of us is the universe. He doesn't have to choose between the universe and an individual soul, why whould He? He is who He is.

Why does God care?
Because God cares.
... Really?

Because God is love and he would like to prove it to you by making his presence known to you.
For thousands of years, God has been making his love and presence known through progressive revelation. You have never tasted true love until you experience the love of God. There are many types or levels of love. There is love of a friend, love of a pet, love of a parent, a spouse, a child. The love of God is in a league of its own.
