I love this question so much! Maybe it will help everyone rethink how and why we pray.
 
I believe it was either Theresa of Avila or John of the Cross who said that prayer exists specifically for two purposes. The first purpose is to glorify God. Our second purpose for praying is to reach certain levels in the spiritual life, each level opening up graces God had preordained we reach by a certain fervency of prayer. Our Lord is immutable, and needs no permission to do anything. 🙂
