I found it comforting that God does know what we are going to pray for:

Jesus (allegedly) said: ''Your Father already knows what you need before you ask him.'' Matt6:7.

Maybe prayer has beneficial physical effects as Leo has noted, as well as spiritual :focusing your attention on God and problems you may have or just to say thanks for something.
