Prayers are communications or appeals directed towards a deity, divine being, or higher power, often a part of religious rituals and practices. These communications can be verbal, mental, or written, and they serve various purposes such as giving thanks, requesting aid, confessing sins, or simply expressing one's devotion and faith. Prayers are found in many religious traditions and can vary greatly in form and content, from spontaneous personal expressions to structured, communal invocations.
