The Prayers
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.

Prayer Notes
Protect Prayers -Will completly protect you from monster/NPC attacks other than Verac in the Barrows who has the ability to hit through the Protect from Melee Prayer. Has a 50% chance of protecting you from attacks by other players in places such as the Wilderness, Duel Arena or Player Owned Houses in Combat Rings or Dungeons with PvP Combat on.
Multiple Prayers - You can use several prayers at once, but only 1 of each type (i.e. you can't use Thick Skin and Rock Skin at once).
You can only use either Melee, Magic or Ranged attack prayers at the same time. This means that you could use two Melee Prayers like Incredible Reflexes and Ultimate Strength as long as one raises attack, and the other strength. You can't use stat boosting Prayers for two different skills, so you can't use Mystic Lore at the same time as Ultimate Strength.
Protect Prayers, Retribution, Redemption and Smite can only be used 1 at a time; you can't use mutiple Prayers of this type.

Helpful Objects
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

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.

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.
