I located this in beurei hatefilah
מהרל נתיבות עולם א עמוד פא נתיב העבודה פרק ה
And there are those who ask about tefila: if a person is worthy that G-d should grant him what he is requesting in his tefila, then why would not G-d grant this person’s request even without tefila and if he is not worthy, then even if he were to pray and make his request, will G-d really grant his request simply because this man prayed. And they asked further: Why do we have to pray by mouthing words, is it not so that G-d knows all our thoughts and should it not be enough that we think those thoughts?
These are great questions, and I can't quite begin to answer any of them, myself. Has anyone rav or gadol answered any of them?
