'Pray' in the Bible

But Simon answered [and] said, "You pray to the Lord for me so that nothing of what you have said will come upon me."

And the next day, [as] they were on their way and approaching the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray [at] about the sixth hour.

And Paul [replied], "I pray to God, whether in a short time or in a long time, not only you but also all those who are listening to me today may become such [people] as I also am, except for these bonds!"
