Prayer Is Not The Crying Game

Should our conversation with God be called the “Crying Game”?  You know the one where we only talk to Him when we want something.  Is it possible to have a conversation with God that does not involve a request?  Certainly, there should be a time when we can just tell Him how wonderful He has been.  Or how marvelous He is.  Or even, how excellent it is to know Him.  These and other praises should be a regular part of our conversation with Him as opposed to Him only finding us on the line crying about something.
