He's obviously is praying to His Father because Jesus who is God became a man (read Philippians 2:5-8) and as a man He did everything pleasing to the Father just like Christians are suppose to please God. Jesus is our supreme example that we are to follow.
Now I have a question for you and dagallen? Jesus says the following at Luke 4:8, "It is written, You shall worship the Lord your God abd serve Him only." Since that is true then how come Thomas is giving Jesus the highest form of worship when He said to Jesus Himself at John 20:28, "The Lord of me and the God of me?" Please explain that to me and tell me why Jesus does not correct Thomas? Also, how do you reconcile what Jesus said at Luke 4:8 to what Thomas said at John 20:28? And don't guess, please give me a biblical reason for this "apparent" contradiction?

Where do you see Thomas or in the immediate context that the Father is included when He/Thomas specifically said to Jesus Christ Himself, "My Lord and my God." Thomas is "NOT" including the Father just because you say so. And when you said, "Because Jesus says that his Father did not leave him alone," Jesus was talking about Him going to the cross at John 16:32, "Behold, an hour is coming and has already come, for you to be scattered each to his own home, and to leave Me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me."
This is a completely different context dagallen and has nothing to do with what Thomas stated. In fact, look at 2 Corinthians 5:19, again referring to the cross, "namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself." In other words, Christ was never without the Father from birth to death which means your explanation is "moot." PS: If Jesus had said"I am God" would you believe Him, yes or not?
