When a person hears from the recesses of his heart the fact that Hashem has chosen him and desires him, he is encouraged to focus on his good points. It leads him to feel comfortable expressing in thought and words his deepest desires that he wishes to express to Hashem. He connects the situation in which he presently finds himself to Hashem.
Prior to the Men of the Great Assembly establishing a set order of prayer each person prayed what was in his heart. This was his or her own רוח הקודש, Divine Spirit. But even today when a person converses with Hashem in his own words it is also Ruach HaKodesh. As Rebbe Nachman writes, "Whatever a person discusses with his Creator is an expression of Ruach HaKodesh."
This is the epitome of a connection with Hashem, that the heart feels deeply that Hashem is united with it. Similar to what we find by Mt Sinai "Face to face Hashem spoke with you." No one else can understand the personal experience of the unification of the Neshama with its Beloved.
The experience is that of אתה הראית לדעת כי ה' הוא האלוקים אין עוד מלבדו, "You have shown us to know that Hashem is God there is none other than He." Every person has the ability to feel the unity of Hashem.
