There is sometimes a value to being with another person even if no words are exchanged. A woman may have an elderly parent who can no longer speak, but there is still something to visiting the parent and sitting quietly with them; to put aside all the other cares and distractions life and to be focused on them.
In a similar vein there is value to sitting quietly with Hashem, even if you say nothing; just to be focused on His existence and your being with Him. You have nothing to say, but you wish to be near Him and aware of his Being.
A person may wish she had something to say, but can't figure out what or how. The experience of just sitting there focused on Hashem, creating a relationship with Hashem, can lead to new ways of communicating with Him when she had no means beforehand.
