Why ask others to pray?

I’m having the hardest darned time understanding what is to be gained by asking others to pray for what we think we need.
How do we know that’s what we really need? Need for what?
To awaken to who and what we really are? Then why do we need to commission others to pray in our stead?
We say we want with all our heart to be fully aware of a realm we know precious little about.
But we want this or that or the other fixed so we can bound off and do pretty much whatever our body minds dictate.
What if what we think we want were the LAST thing that could possibly be compatible with what we really want in our heart – the very seat of our soul?
