Meditation Prayer can be in the form of actually vocalising externally, or simply thinking the dialogue silently. Prayer is the act of pro-actively communicating or expressing thoughts to god, in whichever way the individual understands god to be.
Prayer, which is a technique of the mind, is quiet different from Contemplative Meditation which is a technique of feeling, and was discussed in the previous blog Meditation Series - Part 6 - Techniques For Practise Of Common Types Of Meditation - Contemplative Meditation. What they have in common, is that their focus is on communicating with god.

Prayer is practised for many reasons. Primarily used for a request/wish or to communicate/emote, here are a few examples;
Prayer can be practised at any time, and it may be as short as a word or two or as long as an in-depth conversation.
A typical image is of somebody on their knees at their bed, hands held together at the heart with fingers pointing upward, at night before sleep. This is a wonderful time to pray as it suggests that you are dedicating time each day to pro-actively practise, and not simply when in need. As it is before bedtime, the last thing this is on the mind before sleep is the prayer. If there are answers to be sought, god may provide these in the form of dreams or simply feelings of resolution when one awakes. It is well known that one sleeps better when issues or concerns are not being 'slept on' but are being voiced before hand. Prayer provides a perfect way to exercise this practise.
