You'll find a beautifully written, concise explanation of prayer in the book Steps to Christ by Ellen G. White. The chapter you would want to read is "The Privilege of Prayer," starting on page 93 (depending on the edition).
Here is a short quote from the chapter that may answer your question quickly.
"Prayer is the opening of the heart to God as to a friend.... Prayer is the key in the hand of faith to unlock heaven's storehouse, where are treasured the boundless resources of Omnipotence" (Ellen G. White, Steps to Christ, 93-95).
I would strongly encourage you to read the chapter. The entire book is not just Adventist; it compliments any Bible-believing faith and is really inspiring.
Midland Adventist Academy's motto is 'Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. Col 4:2'.
