Unlike magic, prayers do not require runes to cast, and they are all personal spells(they also, unfortunately, do not give you XP when you cast a prayer like magic does). Instead, they use the Prayer stat. Each spell has a Drain stat - this is the rate at which your Prayer points go down. The higher the number, the faster they drain. The only way to regain Prayer points is to recharge them all at once by going to an altar and praying. You can build your Prayer score by burying bones. You can also mine some silver to make a Holy Symbol of Saradomin, which raises Equipment Prayer by 8 points. You must get it blessed by Brother Jared in the Cleric's Guild, and to do that you need 31 prayer. The Cleric's guild is on the second story of the Monastery. Monks' robes also raise Prayer (top by 6, bottom by 5).
