Summary/Abstract: In this article I tried to present the prayer as the rising of the soul to God and also as a secret conversation between man and God, representing the practical dimension of faith because in that moment you are in front of God, sharing his presence. The prayer as a formal act, even in the educational context, only makes sense when we see it as a preliminary stage of honest, hear felt prayer. For the religious education teacher, the prayer represents calling God among them, it is the help he asks for from the One he serves. Without praying, the religious education class would be as any other class, remaining strictly limited to the informative dimension. Without our personal relationship with God through praying, faith remains at the level of theoretical knowledge and conviction. The prayer adds a plus of religious depth to morality, which attracts the manifestation of God’s love in the life of the believer.
