Why pray when God already knows what will happen?

[tommymo23]

My wife asked me what the point of praying was if God has a plan and knows what will happen. I couldn’t give her a satisfactory answer. I know in my heart that prayer works but I simply can’t put it into words to make her understand. Please help.
