Prayer is Simple and Kind.  It is To Earnestly Ask The Source of the Divine for Help.
You Close Your Eyes and Focus your mind and control your self and earnestly ask God to Help you.
It can be anything.  Doing the Laundry.  If you ask God to Please leave a washer and dryer open for you at the laundromat, He Will Do So.  If He Doesn't, try again next time.  But don't stop going.  And don't give up.  Prayer is a Way of Life.  You Earnestly and Gently Press Forward In Spite Of Negative Energy.  You have Faith in God That There Will Be A Way, and The Doors Will Open For You. 
It doesn't matter what Religion You Are.  Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim-- It Doesn't Matter.  Prayer Is a positive Force that will propell you into the future carefully and effectively.  It will save your life when you feel threatened or afraid.  It will protect you.  With Prayer and Faith, You Can Go Into Any Doorways No Matter How Dark Without Fear Of Being Hurt.  You Just Have Faith And Pray To God, or Whatever You Believe To Be The Divine Creator of All Being, and He Will See You Through.
For MAny Years I have been studying the concept of Gaurdian Angels.  Guardian Spirits Who Keep Danger Away, wherever It Is Lurking.  A Gaurdian Spirits is SomeOne Who Comforts You When You Are Sick Or Afraid.  It Isn't Often A Physical Person.  But There Is Usually Somebody In Your Life That Will Help You.  It Is an Angel That Goes With You Wherever you go-Above You, Beneath You, Before You, Behind You.  Everywhere you go, This Spirit Protects you and keep you safe.  You can feel the angel's presence with you if you listen for it in your heart.
The ability to hear "Voices" is the Ability to Percieve With The Heart.  To Percieve Unseen Truths That Were Before Unseen.  Intuition,. Perception.  If you can listen to the "Still, Small Voice Within You", Then Anyone can hear Voices.  It is a Discovery For The Ages.
A Way To Percieve Unseen and undetectable sensory input that is completely unknown to modern science.  You simply listen to the "Can You Sing With All The Colors Of The Wind?" From Disney's Pocahontas.  Jesus taught us about "The Comforter" "The Still Small Voice" Also Known as the Voice Of The Holy Spirit.  That's What it is.  It is a realm we don't know about.  It Can Be Tapped, Seen Listened to, Thought about, felt, or dreamed.  You cannot reach it with the five senses you have in your pyhsical abilities.  You Have to use your heart.
You have to "Listen" to the world around you.  Not Necessarily to Hear with your unhearing Ear; but to hear with the Ear that Hears Emotions and Colors and Music and Dreams; That Is, The Heart.  The Heart is a listening tool.  It is not the thing that beats in your chest.  That is just a muscle in your body! 
The Heart Loves.  It Loves with all its heart.  It is the part that feels Pain or Sorrow Or Guilt or Fear.
And It Is Also The Part That Prays. 
If you Pray with your Heart, you will find inner Peace in your life and live a long time.  You will also be safe from all things that would harm you.  Calm Your Mind, and Pray.  Thanks!
Sincerely,
Caroline Sullivan
