is prayer simply a two-way conversation between you and God?

see http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125320323440120011.html.  found this article today on the wall street journal web site.  here is a quote it provided from billy graham:  "Prayer is simply a two-way conversation between you and God."  i don't experience the 'two-way' part when i pray.  do you?  would you be willing to describe it?
