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.
This is what I was going for in my post. I didn't say it nearly as eloquently though.
