For many people, prayer is certainly a strange exercise; they pray without faith and a sure expectation of being heard. They call out to Him with vague words because they don't actually know or understand Him well enough to know what to say. Furthermore, their confidence in His might and ability to answer their prayers is in doubt for one reason or another; perhaps they can't feel His presence, maybe they perceive their needs to be too great for Him, or maybe they simply consider themselves unworthy of His answer. Whatever the reason might be, they should look at men like Samuel whose prayers are answered time and time again, and who have an exemplary strength of faith. There are many classic examples like Samuel, Moses, and Abraham, but there are also men and women in our churches today who are strong prayer warriors as well.
