Prayer is not optional, but critical, for the Christian who desires a life with purpose and signficance.
No man can do a great and enduring work for God who is not a man of prayer; and no man can be a man of prayer who does not give much time to praying.1
Simply re-worded: Praying much gives much success in Kingdom work. I suppose the opposite would also be true: Praying little gives little success. Prayer indeed is the key to accomplishing something meaningful and important in the Lord's work.
Do you want to be used of God? Do you want to accomplish something meaningful and important? Do you want a life of significance? Then you must pray!
Will you be satisfied to end your life never having done much at all? Will a life wasted be your legacy; and will that be ok with you? If so, then you never need pray!
