That's where the whole "God's will" thing comes in - and of course you don't stop at prayer. (Faith without works is, after all, dead.)
I think it may relate to intentionality - just voicing your concerns and asking for the strength to bear your burdens and the ability to overcome helps. In that way it's a sort of positive affirmation.
Too often prayer becomes a case of telling God how He should do things, instead of trying to discern His will.
