Pray or Prey
To pray is to 'talk' to your god; to prey on someone or something is to hunt, catch or exploit them: I pray that it won't rain today; It's been preying on my mind for some time now; The praying mantis is so called not because it preys on living insects for its food but because when at rest it folds its front legs as if praying.
