Because the Pharisees (religious leaders of that time) were a bunch of hypocrites who would pray out loud in public and make a big show of it - they were trying to show off and make everyone think they were "holier-than-thow". By pretending to faint they made it seem like whatever they were saying was so emotionally dragging and people would therefor pay more attention to them. It was a song and a dance to get people to follow them.

what this means is that in our prayer life we find strenght that the Holy Spirit provides for us, and not be weak in this responsibility that we have to our Father in heaven. This is His hope that all of His children will pray therefore speaking to him in every circumstance of life.
