My advice, especially in a case like this (where I don't know what is going on and don't have a grasp of the social aspects of the situation), is truly worth exactly what you pay for it.
With that caveat, I would think that if you're having some sort of problem with a voluntary prayer group that is not amenable to a satisfactory solution, you're better off finding another prayer group. Unlike joining the LDS Church, joining a prayer group is not a covenant you've made with God, or even (it sounds like) a deep friendship. It's a union of convenience, a nice way to gain perspective and insights. If the group isn't giving you perspective or insights, then from your end, at least, it's not doing any good.
Now, if you think your presence gives benefit to others in the group, then that's a matter worth considering. But other than that, I can't think of a good reason to stay in a group that isn't providing you any benefit.
As I said, it's advice worth what you paid.
