It can come in handy if you need an extra burst of strength, a moment of being invincible to magic, or even a faster healing time! Since there are so many things it can help with, Prayer is a skill worth getting better at, even though it can be quite tedious at times.
When you pray to the Gods of RuneScape, they will help you by making you instantly stronger, or un-affected by a foes' attack, depending on the prayer that you use. To use more prayers and to make them last longer, you should bury bones which are dropped by many monsters throughout RuneScape. 
You can find a graphical prayer list by clicking on the silver-colored symbol located to the right of the game screen. It will tell you which prayers you are using, the ones that you can use, and any ones that you can't use yet. To activate a prayer just click on the one you wish to use, and to de-activate it just click on it again.
Stat-Boosting Altars Some Altars will provide you with extra Prayer Points if you pray at it while you have full prayer points (ie: 30/30). There are currently two known Altars that posses this property:
By taking a short walk through the town of Lumbridge, you could most likely find a backpack full of bones, but you may have more luck by killing monsters for them. Many monsters and NPC's that you can fight will drop bones, but others will not drop any. There are also different kinds of bones you can find, depending on the enemy.
Ghasts Another good way for Members to gain Prayer experience is
by killing Ghasts in the Mort Myre Swamp. After starting the
Nature Spirit Quest,
you are able to enter the Shades By burning the remains of the Mort'ton Shades, you'll receive Prayer experience. First you need to complete the Shades of Mort'ton Quest. Then you can cut some logs and pour some Sacred Oil on them. Kill a Shade and use the logs on 1 of the Pyres around the village. Place the remains on the Pyre as well, and light it with a Tinderbox. More info can be found in the Firemaking guide.
One of the main reasons for burning shades is for the purpose of obtaining keys for the Mort'ton Dungeon. Inside, you'll find various doors which require a different key, and inside of those rooms will be a chest; some of which contain Fine Cloth, used in making Splitbark Armor.
Speak to the Ghost Disciple and ask about Ectofuntus. Climb down the trapdoor to the west and continue downwards until you find a Pool of Slime. Fill your buckets and head back up to the temple. Grind several sets of bones in the bone Grinder upstairs. To do this, use them with the machine, wind it up, and then empty each 1 into a Pot. Now climb downstairs and use the Slime with the Ectofuntus.
For a detailed guide on worshipping the Ectofuntus, check out the guide on Worshipping the Ectofuntus Quickly & Efficiently. There are many different kinds of prayers that can aide you in battle, doing things from keeping an enemy from hitting you with his axe, to making your hits more powerful or even speeding up the recovery of your stats.
Multiple Prayers You have the ability to use multiple prayers at once, although there are some exceptions to this:
Protect Prayers These prayers will completely protect you from any monster or NPC attacks when in use. However, Verac in the Barrows has the ability to hit through the Protect From Melee prayer. These prayers also have a 50% chance of protecting you from attacks from other players in places such as the, Duel Arena, Bounty Hunter, Clan Wars, and Player Owned Houses in Combat Rings or Dungeons with PvP Combat on. When you have a Protect Prayer active, you can also use stat-boosting prayers, but you are limited to using one of the following combinations:
There are many things that can improve your prayer, which slows down how fast your points will drain. Of course, you can bury bones to increase your level, but there are also items like robes, amulets and maces that can make your prayers last longer. Amulets & Symbols These items are worn around your neck and give special bonuses. They can also be crafted and then enchanted or blessed to bring out the special powers.
Clothing There are several articles of clothing that can be bought from the Varrock clothing shop, and dropped from monsters that will give you a prayer bonus when worn. You can also buy certain equipment after completing quests such as Recruitment Drive, Wanted! and Slug Menace. The Monk Robes are a spawn in the Prayer Guild, and aren't bought or obtained from a monster drop.
Maces & Other Weapons When equipped, a mace will give a prayer bonus. They aren't quite as strong as a heavy battle axe, but if you rely on Prayer, these are the weapons of choice. There are also some other weapons that will grant a Prayer bonus in RuneScape.
Prayer Books Members have the ability to wield Prayer Books, after completing the Horror From the Deep Quest. They are wielded in place of a shield and will initially add 5 to your Prayer bonus, along with other bonuses depending on the Book of the RuneScape God that you choose. You can also perform Ceremonies: Wedding Rites, Blessing, Last Rites, and Preach. Each book needs to be completed by adding 4 pages (belonging to that book) to it. These pages can be a Treasure Trail Reward, or traded from other players. Once you've completed 1 book, you can go back to Jossik and buy another for 5,000gp. If you happen to lose a book, Jossik will give it back to you, and any pages will still be there. After you've completed a book and have level 50 Prayer, you'll be able to bless the Symbols of the Gods. A Book of Balance can bless both Holy and Unholy Symbols, while the other books can only bless Symbols of the same God.
Both Holy and Unholy Symbols can be blessed in order to give a special prayer bonus when they're worn. Once you have your unblessed symbol, you need to bring it to the specific person who will bless it for you. To bless a Holy Symbol, bring it to Brother Jered upstairs in the Monk's Monastery. To have your Unholy Symbol blessed, bring it to the Spirit of Scorpius, the ghost in the graveyard just north of the Observatory. Remember, you need to have already completed the Observatory Quest before he will bless your symbols. Members who own a Player Owned House (POH) have the ability to build a Chapel, in which you may build an altar to pray at. You may also use your bones with the altar to receive some bonus experience, depending on the kind of altar and the number of burners you have lit. The values below show how much of a bonus you will receive when burying bones at an altar, in addition to the usual experience you would normally gain.
So for instance, if you buried some Dragon bones (72xp per bone) at a Gilded Altar with no burners, you would use a math formula like this: (72 * 2.5) = 180 experience |

Colored-in Icon: This means that you have enough experience and are a high enough level in order to use the prayer.
Lit-up Icon: The prayer is in use and will continue to drain your prayer points until you stop praying.
Blacked-out Icon: You're unable to use the prayer until you reach the required prayer level.
You can use more than one prayer at a time, but your prayer
points will drain faster if you do. When your points drain down to 0, you
will be unable to use any prayers until you recharge at an altar. Altars can
be found in many churches around RuneScape. They can also be built in the Chapels of Player Owned Houses.

to fill with 'Natures Harvests.' This will cause any Ghasts that attack to
become visible so that you can kill it. Defeating a Ghast will give 30
experience to Prayer.

before you head off to worship this slimy structure, make sure you have Pots,
Buckets (enough for the number of Bones you are bringing), Bones, and an Amulet

to the Ectofuntus.
