| | Prayer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Prayer is an active effort to communicate with a deity or spirit, including a monotheist God, Saints, gods within a pantheon, or others; either to offer praise, to make a request, confess sins, or simply to express one's thoughts and emotions. |
 | | Often, there are prayers to fit specific occasions, such as the blessing of a meal, the birth or death of a loved one, other significant events in the life of a believer, or days of the year that have special religious significance. |
 | | Prayers in Etruscan were used in the Roman world by augurs and other oracles long after Etruscan became a dead language. |
