I was just curious if anybody knew what this meant. I know what each of the words translate to, but I'm not sure if there was some saying because the two words meanings together (pray and obtain/get) don't make much sense to me.

It does not seem to make sense. Both words are verbs, first person, singular, indicative. A literal translation is 'I beg/pray I obtain/get/procure.'
One possiblity is that someone entered something like 'I pray I get (something)' in one ot the online translators and it spit out 'Precor impetro' as the first part. Those translators don't know subjunctive from a preposition and would not have recognized this should be: Precor ut impetrem (something).
That's just a wild guess.

Although it is not a complete sentence it still can make sense.
I pray - I get
Meaning if I put my trust in god he will help
or a little less religious
Ask and you will be given - that is of course not a word by word translation
