Buddhists do not worship any person or deity, including The Buddha. They show him reverence by bowing to his image but we do not say prayers to him. Buddhist prayers are more like a mantra in which the person praying is reciting a lesson (sutra) or guideline which tells them how to behave and act. For example, a prayer for compassion is "may all beings be well, happy and peaceful". The idea behind this prayer is for the person praying to develop compassion and loving kindness to all. Therefore prayer in Buddhism is self-directed. With all that said when we practice meditation we usually sit in front of a statute of The Buddha or some other holy person, again not to worship, but to remind us of the ideal we strive for. We meditate at whatever time we can or when we feel it is needed.
