No, if you mean the traditional "method" of saying prayers when you go to the church or stand in the front of the icon at your home and pray. But I'm sure each person has something (or someone?) inside his soul to speak to when he has some need in it. You ask if you are right or no, if you offended someone or if what should you do. You analyze your behavior and your thoughts. And you give any name to it, you can call it the God or the conscience or the sense of guilt. You can say you pray or just think. But the main thing is you have a necessity to do it.

It is a waste of time. The people starving in 3rd world countries pray and they still starve. I have food so what do I need to pray for?

Praying is humbling talking with God - being honest about your wants and needs recognizing He is the Lord of all.

I DO.

Yes it's very powerful!

The Bible has many things to say about the subject of prayer. Prayer is talking to God. It is our way of communicating our thoughts, needs, and desires to Him. It is an avenue that God has provided for the believer of making known the deepest feelings of our heart.

Prayer Is An Act

Prayer is an act, not merely an attitude. This can be seen by the way the Scripture speaks of people praying.

He [Jesus] was praying in a certain place, and after He had finished, one of His disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught His disciples (Luke 11:1).

Notice it says that Jesus was praying and then He finished praying. This means that prayer is an act. You begin it and you finish it.

Asking God

The main idea behind prayer is petition, asking God for things. Jesus said:

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened (Matthew 7:7,8).

How Often Should We Pray

If possible, there should be set times each day that we pray. As the need arises, prayer should also take place in between these times. The Bible commands us to:

Pray continually (1 Thessalonians 5:17).

Pray Privately

Jesus said that our prayers should be done in private.

But when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly (Matthew 6:6).

There is a time for public prayer but as individuals we should talk to God in private.

Continue In Prayer

We are also to continue in prayer. We do not just pray for something once and then go on.

Then they came to a place which was named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, Sit here while I pray. . . And He went away and prayed and spoke the same words (Mark 14:32,39).

In the Garden of Gethsemane Jesus prayed three times for the same thing. Hence it is not a lack of faith to continue to pray for something. Furthermore we are commanded to keep on praying for things.

Summary

Prayer is talking to God. It is a specific thing that we do, not merely an attitude. The main idea behind prayer is petition—asking God for things. From the Scripture we discover that prayer is an act that we are to perform between us and God. It should be done in private without calling attention to the fact that we are praying.
