You pray to have a relationship, you CAN NOT have ANY sort of relationship if you never talk to that person. Whether it be a friend, or a girlfriend, or with your parents, you have to talk and communicate with them in order to have a relationship. It's not about strength all the time.
Is it really necessary to pray then? I mean God knows everything right? I would think it's a safe assumption to say that God would know if you were thankful or needed help without having to sit on your knees with your hands clasped together. The whole thing to me seems phony and forced.

I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.[/
