What is the Ultimate Goal of the Word of any Prayer?
Commitment
+ Prayer in Judaism aims to adhere to the instructions of the traditional Jewish prayer book "Siddur."
+ Prayer in Christianity (Lord's Prayer) aims at commitment. It was recommended by Jesus when the disciples asked him how to pray, and it is mentioned in the Gospel.
+ Praying to idols in pre-Islamic times aimed to adhere to their belief through education and habituation.
+ Prayer in Islam is aimed at divine commitment and is the first act of worship for which a Muslim will be held accountable on the Day of Resurrection, and it is made obligatory on the night of Meraaj (Ascension). Prayer has been mentioned in the Holy Qur'an in more than one place. For example, it was stated in Surat Al-Mu'minun: (Prosperous are the believers, who are humble in their prayers.) In addition, in the words of the Almighty, Glory be to Him, in Surat Al-Kawthar, verse No. 2: "Therefore, turn in prayer to your Lord and sacrifice (to Him only)." Also, the Almighty said in Surah Al-A'la: "And glorify the name of their Guardian-Lord, and (lift their hearts) in prayer." Also, God Almighty said in Surat Taha, verse 14: "Indeed, I am Allah. There is no deity except Me, so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance." Abdullah bin Qart said, quoting Muhammad, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, "The first thing for which a servant will be held accountable on the Day of Resurrection is prayer, and if it is good, all of his deeds will be good, and if it is corrupt, all of his deeds will be corrupt.
+ Prayer in Hinduism, Buddhism, and other religions aims to adhere to their beliefs in education and habituation. It is recorded in their books and practices.
Prayer serves as a means of communication with God in the Christian faith, emphasizing the relationship between a Christian and their deity. A Christian's spiritual development is hinged on a single prayer, as this connection grows stronger with every prayer. Nevertheless, I have observed over the years that Christians tend to use prayer primarily as a chance to request blessings or protection from God. Consequently, in my perspective, prayer remains a prevalent practice among believers in Jesus Christ within Christian circles.
Imo, the ultimate goal Mohamed Fayad of the word of any prayer is to seek shelter under the protective shield of our creator.

This goal is considered one of the common goals in all divine and positive religions, and there is no objection to it, but we are talking about a unified goal for the word of any prayer. And it is commitment. This goal is consistent with what you say but is clear and frank support.
Am in agreement with your key factor of real commitment Mohamed Fayad
As prayer builds the relationship between G-d and human beings, we should do it with total concentration on God-there should be nothing else in our mind, because the purpose of prayer is to transform oneself. This understanding, to seek the shelter of the protective shield of our creator, is rooted in the conception of divine simplicity.
