This is a mistake that working people make: They think that they are not able to pray as well as those who are full time involved in learning Torah. The truth is just the opposite, they are able to pray even better than them! This is because the advantage of light is specifically when it comes from darkness.
So too, someone involved in the darkness of this world has a much greater advantage in the spiritual light of his prayers, much more so than someone who is constantly in the spiritual light of Torah study.
This is the idea that the material concerns called the “waters of Noach” are called “אָּח ורְדַׁאָּחיְי נ-a relaxed/satisfied spirit”, which is the aspect of Shabbos.
Like it says (Bereshis 2:3): “For on it [Shabbos] He [Hashem] שָבַת-rested from all of His work,”
As mentioned above, the word “שָבַת-rested” (which is the same letters as “שַבָּת-Shabbos”) is translated by Unkelos as “וְנָח” which means rest and is the same letters as “נֹחַ-Noach” and connected to the phrase “נַיחָא דְרוּחָא-a relaxed/satisfied spirit”.
