Prayer is our way to communicate to God. In prayer we not only bring our requests, but it is where we tell God what is going on in our lives and it is where we take time to listen to him.

Relationships take time and presence to devlop closeness and that is what we do in prayer, we spend time with God and give attention to him and he gives attention with us. When we take the time to spend with God, the Holy Spirit forms us into the image of Jesus.
