Fact - in the realm of the spiritual and regardless of physical age, communication with the Divine, the Almighty, vis-à-vis prayer... is imperative. "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” - John 4:24
Prayer is different, but arguably akin to, and no less effective than our telecommunication systems. Communication is exchanged, resulting in desired action and results.
If one doesn't communicate with another/others under applicable circumstances, how will one know anything one needs to know?
