Pray in private

Why do Catholics pray in private if God already knows everything?

Jesus said go to your inner room and shut the door. Not because God needs the update... He doesn't. Prayer doesn't inform God; it forms us. We pray to align our hearts with His, to learn to want what He wants, to remember who we are in front of the One who made us. The closed door isn't to keep God in. It's to keep the noise out.
