The Lord is near to all who call upon Him. --Psalm 145:18
Prayer is not a trial balloon we send up to see if God is there. It is an opportunity He has given us to communicate with Him. To use it as a test for God's existence is an insult to the One who created us.
God's existence is not being put to the test when we pray. We don't make requests of Him to see if He's real. When we pray, we are showing God that we have faith in Him and that we are willing to do what He says.
Prayer is not a test. It's an act of worship.
Pray to get to know God, not just to get things from God.
