Prayer is merely talking with God, our Faithful and Caring Heavenly Father, either on our own behalf or on the behalf of others.

1 John 5:15 ~ And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him. (1 John 5:15)

Mark 11:24 ~ Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. (Mark 11:24)

Matthew 5:44 ~ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you (Matthew 5:44)
