That means if you pray, you're a false prophet and if you don't pray, there is no Divine Guidance.

There is no scientific evidence whatsoever that praying accomplishes anything except putting money into the hands of false prophets like Billy Graham and the Pope.

Follow the words of Jesus Christ I presume and he said you're not supposed to pray in public but in private and only recite the Lord's Prayer.
