This sounds like your mentality went through changes over time and I believe you that you mean what you say, but this is still extremely subjective and shallow as an answer. But its an answer at least.
I love sports too, I love games (thats why I am on d2jsp), love my friends, love my family. None of those things ever let me down and I am as happy as a human could possibly be while God or Jesus or whoever else mean absolutely nothing to me.
But okay, enough of that. You gave me an answer, which is more than I ever expected to get.
Your answer is, you pray to God because Jesus never let you down, right?
One follow up question if I may:
What would have to happen, that would make you think he let you down? Can he do whatever he wants or would there actually be the possibility of a scenario which would let you think he abandoned you?
Simple, win the lottery.

If god intervenes it removes free will to your original point
God's will and our free will intertwine. How does this work? God uses our free will to accomplish His will.
An example of this is Genesis 50:19-20
19 But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? 20
You intended to harm me, but
God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.
