Nice try, but it doesn't fit. Jesus had nothing to gain from telling them he was the Son of God because they wouldn't have believed him anyway. But sincere prayer by himself, for himself, would help himself, as it would help anyone.
I asked him to pray for his own good, not mine. He must have a highly suspicious mind to be wary of his own prayer.
Put another way, if you asked me to pray more about LCM, I would. Or at least I'd say, "I'll might just do that." I wouldn't say, "I don't need to pray."
