There is a rule: the effort spent on attaining something increases the desire to attain it, and the strength of that desire is determined by the suffering caused by the unavailability of what we desire. The prayer is the suffering itself, not expressed in words but only felt within the heart.
Proceeding from this, we can understand that only after strenuous effort to attain what is desired can man pray so sincerely that he will receive it.
