Individual prayer is prayer you say yourself. It is usually not scripted. The oft-repeated quip "As long as there are math tests, there will be prayer in schools" refers to individual prayer. In contrast, communal prayer is frequently scripted, following an order of service or a liturgy. The Lord's Prayer used by Christians is an example, as is a Catholic Mass.
A communal prayer is a prayer that is prayed with a group. Individual prayer is prayed alone.

Personal prayer is a communication with a higher power or deity that is individualized and comes from the heart and personal beliefs of the person praying. It can be a way to seek guidance, express gratitude, ask for forgiveness, or simply connect spiritually.

A made-up prayer is a prayer that is created by an individual or a group to address a specific intention or purpose. It is not part of any established religious tradition or scripture. These prayers are often personal and can be tailored to reflect the beliefs and values of the person or group creating them.
The actual prayer that was banned from public schools was a specific prayer known as the "Regents' Prayer" or the "Almighty God" prayer. This prayer was recited in some public schools in the United States before the ban. While there was no standard script that all teachers used, the Regents' Prayer was frequently used as it was a commonly accepted prayer in many schools.

Some common prayer topics include gratitude, guidance, forgiveness, strength, healing, peace, and protection. Other topics may include personal needs, relationship challenges, career decisions, and spiritual growth. Prayer can be tailored to individual concerns and intentions.
There is no specific prayer that you must say before you die. It is a personal choice and can vary based on individual beliefs and faith traditions. Some may choose to recite a prayer that brings them comfort or seek guidance from their spiritual leaders.
