First, how each person would write a prayer would depend on their beliefs, whether they believe in a particular religious denomination, and would also depend on the traditions that person has experienced growing up.
Generally speaking, any kind of "prayer" would have these basic components, and generally in this order:
- An opening; A Salutation (for example, "Dear God / Dear Jesus"
- Praising - Openly stating that "God" (or whoever you believe is the higher power) deserves to be honored and obeyed.
- Giving Thanks for the graces or benefits you already have in life (for examples: family, health, employment, or anything a person feels grateful to have)
- Supplication, or "asking" -- This section often includes a person's concerns, worries, fears, problems, etc.
- Claim of faith / statement of belief ("Thy Will be Done" in Christianity)
- A Closing - However the person wants to end the prayer; it often includes additional praising and claim of faith statements.
I once heard someone say that even to say, "Oh God!", during times of great stress or problems constitutes a form of prayer because in that exclamation the heart is drawn to a power greater than our own.

∙ 11y agoThere are many prayers in the Holy Bible (KJV). My favorite is the Lord's Prayer in Matthew. It has all the components of sacred prayer. Start with praise and acknowledgement of your Creator and you being the creature and being submissive to His will. Plead your petition and ask for Him to Bless others and forgive you your sins, and end with Thanksgiving and praise.
