God takes care of the just and unjust alike, why should there be a question? Nobody has ever said that good things are ONLY the result of prayer, we expect them to happen generally, because God is a good God.
​
But if one does get stuck as Ringo imagined, in a blizzard under lifethreatening conditions, and your own ingenuity isn't enough to find a way out of your predicament (it happens), I recommend praying.

Nobody has advocated prayer as a substitute. The Donner Party ran out of ingenuity. It happens. I have no idea whether they prayed or not.
