I am not sure how you feel about me commenting, and I hope nothing I say offends, but... well, here's my opinion, which you may disregard as you choose.
I believe that, in worship, you should be guided by those you feel the most connected to. As you grow older and time and life change you, what you were once suited to and connected well with would naturally alter as well.
Prayer should come from the deepest, most honest portion of who we are... if you are lying to yourself or to the deity you are communing with, even by simply not feeling they are the right one for you, then the feelings associated with their benevolence or wisdom would be degraded.
You should seek out a deity that feels *right* to you... what gives you the comfort and help you need in your darkest of hours? Who do you feel your soul is called to?
I hope that no deity you had picked in the past would ever wish you to continue prayers that were only darkening your path when they were unable to answer, for whatever reason, your much needed requests. And I am also faithful that any deity would be grateful for your heart seeking theirs.
