Prayer is not a ritual, it is talking with God. It depends on how much you know Him. Christians who have a closer walk with the Lord (have been born again first) will want to speak with their Heavenly Father whenever. Have reverence for Him (He is God), but remember that He is also your friend, tell Him about everything. You will find that He is the best listener through his answers. There is no "set" way of praying, in the Bible people did it wherever they had to/wanted to.

Since God AlMighty is available to us at all the time, 24hrs a day, we can pray to God at any time, standing, siiting,reclining, eating, before going to bed, any time of the day cen be reserved as prayer time for God. You can kneel, bow, prostrate and perform any action to show your humility and Gods Soverengity. when entering a king or queens castle people usually bow down to pay respect, if they can bow to a mere mortal as an act of respect then th elevel of honouring and showing respect to God must be higher than this. An act of humility before the Lord of the Worlds, Creator of this universe.
Worship means to consider & declare oneself lowly & helpless before a thing or a person and to consider & declare it/him as the omnipotent, the saviour, and the protector.10
When a person prefers someone else upon the Lord and considers him as the saviour, the omnipotent, the protector, like that of the Lord, then, he virtually adopts the way of Satan, leaving aside the path shown by the Lord, the Holy One. Such a person, practically, seeks help/protection/prosperity from the creature instead of the Creator and thereby stamps himself, by his own hands, as an enemy of the Lord, the Holy One.
To seek help or refuge from a person, other than the Lord, considering him as the Omnipotent-Protector OR to pray or beseech before him, for expulsion of some grief or loss, and extension of some relief or gain___ is all and all___ nothing else but the worship. That is the consolidated verdict of Torah (the Law of Moses), Bhagavad-Gita, the Book of Psalms, the Gospels, the Quran and all the Scriptures. People of all the Scriptures should, therefore, resort to their Scriptures and the Message of Monotheism, contained therein. They must realize, in letter and spirit, that Omnipotent-Protector and the Creator is none, but One, the Holy One, alone. And___ worship is meant for the Creator alone___ not for the creature, the prophets, the gods, the goddesses, the idols or so on.
All-Alone Lord means that there is no God beside the All-Alone Lord. This fundamental lesson has been, altogether, forgotten while everyone knows that none on the earth or in heavens or between the both___ is greater than the Lord, the One God. Instead, every creature is lowly and helpless before the Lord.
Besides that, everyone knows that whatsoever is created___ is created by the Lord, alone. Who is the Omnipotent-Protector. Even then, the masses do not establish the pure and pious worship of the Lord. Nor they act upon the Commandments of the Lord. They do act__ but__ upon their self-assumed, satanic ways. They are the servants of Satan___ not of the Lord.
At present stage of human history, when the continued work of the Godly-guidance stands, already, perfected in terms of the long series of prophets and their Scriptures. And__ the Day of Judgement is also at hand. The masses must review, all and all of that, which is being maintained by them; in the name of faith and belief.
The ignorant must pay heed to the Scriptures and the Message of Monotheism, contained therein. Still there is some time for the Repentive Recourse to reform and recognize the actual purpose of life including the actualisation thereof.
Jesus (PBUH) had given this message in his prayer on the cross (The Psalm 22)
“Praise the Lord, you servants of the Lord
Honour the Lord,
You descendants of Jacob
Worship the Lord, you people of Israel.”
(The Psalm 22:23)
It means that praise is meant for the Lord alone. And___ to honour the Lord means to obey the Lord in terms of the Lord’s Commandments and to worship the Lord means to seek help and refuge from the Lord as the Lord is the Omnipotent-Protector alone. And___ that is the sole purpose of human life.

first of all when refering to God you should always capitalize the G... as far as prayer basically praying is talking to God.. so you should talk to God all day.. tell Him thanks for this and that and everything in between.. as far as kneeling I dont think you absolutely have to kneel, because if you are on your way to lets say an interview and you want to say a quick prayer before going in, your are most likely NOT gonna kneel before your car and pray.. just talk to God as you would your best friend, it doesnt have to be professional or in a certain place or at a certain time, I believe that most peaple pray at night to thank God for everything that day and to ask for forgiveness for all the sins of that day and to help with the ones for the comming day.. you have to look at your life and basically ask yourself and God is just one time at night good enough for you?? and He will answer you.. Just remember in all things give thanks GOOD and BAD.. the first thing I do in the morning is say Thank you Jesus.. and sometimes i will just say Thank you all day.. like when my car starts, or when I lock my door, brush my teeth, or even cook a meal... The Bible says In ALL things give thanks.. so that means everything. and prayer is just a conversation with God...

depends on your specific belief. in general, no special garment is required, nor any special words. more often is better than less often.
i pray throughout the day, with everything i do, and kneel to pray a concentrated prayer several times per day. that is what makes me feel closest to my creator.
only you can decide what is "good enough".

Prayer isn't really something you can just check off a list everyday. It is a way to communicate with God. You don't have to be on your knees, or even in public.
It is a conversation between you and God. Tell Him what's on your mind, what's bothering you, ask for guidance. It's also a time to praise Him for the things He has done for you and ask for forgiveness for things you have done.
You can't just complete one prayer for the day and expect Him to accept that. It takes work.

Praying is speaking and listening to God. It is talking with Him, having a relationship with Him. Thanking Him and praising Him. You can do that anywhere and anytime. God wants to have a relationship with us. We should know His voice, and the best way to do that is by reading His word and talking to Him on a regular basis. When we get to know God personally, we look forward to our time with Him. He loves you and wants to know you. You can never talk to God too much.

One time at night is better than not at all ... !
If you could do it even more often, that would definitely not hurt.
You don't necessarily have to kneel. I don't, unless I'm in church because when I'm there, I'm in the physical presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Which is, needless to say, a special case.
