Why do you pray for help & advice when God doesn't want you to?

first of all, from what u posted, it doesn't state that God doesnt want us to ask him for help, its just useless to do so. Also, the main reason you ask Him for help is because of the reurance. Also, he may know of your plight, but mabye he wants to see how far you are willing to go? (you cant say he alrdy knows how far you are willing to go on things because that means going to heaven/hell is alrdy decided for u.)
