We can compare this to the ברית (Bris), covenant, between Dovid and Yonason. They made a covenant meant to connect them no matter what was happening in their lives. A Bris rises above the current feelings of the parties. Even when one party is not feeling connected to the other, the Bris connects them. The power of the Bris comes into play when the connection is weak.
Similarly when it comes to prayer. When a person prays even when he doesn't feel like it and feels like he has nothing to say, but only because it is his natural state, he shows that he has an essential connection to Hashem beyond all reason.
It is only when a person has a place where he belongs that he can truly discover new things about himself. In other situations he may discover deeper truths about himself. But something truly new can only be found in one's natural home.
