Boudry & De Smedt’s definition of prayer is closely related and quite similar to magic. In Hebrew the verb “to pray” is used in a grammatically reflexive form, literally something like “to pray yourself”.

It thus leads to a totally different, non magic view of communing with the divine in native speakers.
