Christians are commanded to pray in the name of Jesus. It is not a practice reserved just for personal prayers, or prayers rendered in church.

The Savior is the perfect example of praying for others with real intent. In His great Intercessory Prayer uttered on the night before His Crucifixion, Jesus prayed for His Apostles and all of the Saints.
Some people keep God in a Sunday morning box and say, 'Hey, I did my religious duty.' That's fine, but the scripture says to pray without ceasing. And I think that means all through the day you're talking to God. Even if it's in your thoughts.
There is clearly a Christian New Testament tradition that warns against praying loudly in the front of the temple where everyone can see you.
It is not only our duty to pray for others, but also to desire the prayers of others for ourselves.
Ordinary Catholics are praying when they do not think they are. They are praying when they offer implicitly all they are doing to God.
Prayer is a strong wall and fortress of the church; it is a goodly Christian weapon.
To pray is to have a conversation with Deity. This sacred and supernal communication with Heavenly Father is a divine and delicate process. This crucial communication should be conducted with great care and in compliance with sacred counsel.
It is good for us to keep some account of our prayers, that we may not unsay them in our practice.
Prayer is simply talking to God like a friend and should be the easiest thing we do each day.
The custom of speaking to God Almighty as freely as with a slave - caring nothing whether the words are suitable or not, but simply saying the first thing that comes to mind from being learnt by rote by frequent repetition - cannot be called prayer: God grant that no Christian may address Him in this manner.
