    This search will get you started: prayer:speaker:Jesus

    That shows 53 results in the English Standard Version:

    You might also look at the All the Prayers in the Bible dataset documentation, which does what the title indicates.

    @Leonard D. Franklin if you use the Search Templates on the left side they will guide you so you don't need to know syntax, but this one works well (I got 62 results in 49 verses)

    speaker:person:Jesus INTERSECTS addressee:person:God

    I run the L10 Bronze package, and the "All the Prayers in the Bible" dataset documentation was included as part of that library. The "Speaking to God" interactive (also part of the Bronze library, as I recall) gives you the ability to see a lot of details about the prayers in the bible.

    In Logos 40 Beta, it as easy as entering "Jesus praying" in the new Smart Bible Search.

    The new smart Bible search is great, but is not always going to be exhaustive. The best precise search is probably speaker:Jesus addressee:God, a great model for similar searches that are not necessarily prayer. This does have fewer results than prayer:speaker:Jesus because it leaves out the model prayer, where Jesus was not actually praying.

    In your library under the type manual for most of the datasets, in this case Husser, Lydia. Reported Speech: Dataset Documentation. Bellingham, WA: Faithlife, 2017. but a group of Bible lists are found by title e.g. Parks, Jimmy. All the Prayers in the Bible. Faithlife Biblical and Theological Lists. Bellingham, WA: Faithlife, 2020 in the series Faithlife Biblical and Theological Lists. If you go to the Help Center (the question mark on the tool bar) it should lead you to them.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
