Mat. 6:32-33 says

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

It is very true that before we pray to God about our needs, He already knows them. The only way for Him to respond to such a prayer is by seeking his kingdom first, thus, knowing about him and his son, Jesus Christ.
