When we are praying, we stand at a point of influence over what we pray about. It's like the farmer holding a hosepipe running with water, directing which soil it should wet for the crops. We direct God's power where it should manifest for His glory.
If prayer was not necessary, Jesus would not have spent a lot of time in it. In Mark 1.35 and Luke 6.12 we are told of how much time Jesus dedicated to pray. Mind you, Jesus was one of the busiest people in His days; sometimes to get His attention you had to shout hard, other times you had to press through a crowd to touch His garment, and harder still, to host him you sometime had to climb a sycamore tree. In fact, i guess that's why He had to squeeze time late in the night or early in the morning to pray.
The busier we get, the more prayerful we should get also....simply because it glorifies God if your life preaches the message "It is not by how hard I work that I prosper, but it is about how God can bless what I am doing."
