I didn't say that I believed a dialogue between TWO people is a Prayer I said a dialogue between GOD and oneself, notice the difference....

Sky,

Genesis 4:26……seems to technically can be called as prayer. Nothing prior was petitionary in nature…..nor giving of praise and/or gratitude…..perhaps the forms we most closely associate with prayer. Certainly this verse indicates what we would define as prayer…..namely “calling on the name of the Lord”.

Genesis 4:26 — The New International Version (NIV)

26 Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh.
At that time people began to call on the name of the Lord.

It takes two, it would seem impossible that God would rest/work in a prayerful repose? Holy, yes.. I struggle with the mind of God, as it originates in God. Think about that.
