Shall I Pray or Watch TV?

With the world in the condition it is in, should we spend our time and our mind's resources watching TV? Sometimes we just need to relax and forget our troubles, don't we? But does the mind ever stop processing data we feed it? The fact that we dream at night proves that it doesn't. Do we have to feel so distraught, so confused, so lost all the time? Maybe we could take advantage of our intimate relationship with God and pray to Him, receiving His comfort and even His direction? Maybe we should Pray rather than watch TV.
