Definitely pray, and declare yourself to Christ. Because you know that material goods took you to dangerous places, don't be shy about using worldly goods to protect you, like wearing a cross and keeping holy water nearby, even in a spray bottle.

Be aware that God also provides mystical experiences that can be entirely positive and life-changing. From my experience and from what I've read, shortcuts can be dangerous: devotion, love, faith and time will bring positive results with a solid foundation. Blessings, friend.
