Prayer is a central theme in the common Bible of the Abrahamic religions, where various forms of prayer appear; the most common forms being petition, thanksgiving and worship. When people pray as a form of petition, they hope for a certain outcome either in the physical world, e.g. the recovery of a person from an ailment, or in the spiritual world, e.g. the repose of a soul via a prayer for the dead. However, not all prayers include direct petitions, for they may be Acts of Reparation which do not involve a petition for a living or deceased beneficiary, but aim to repair the sins of others, e.g. as Acts of Reparation to Jesus Christ.
