What does Prayer Mean?

It's interesting to know how a dictionary defines prayer . here are some definitions:

1.a devout petition to God or an object of worship.
2.a spiritual communion with God or an object of worship, as in supplication, thanksgiving, adoration, or confession.
3.the act or practice of praying to God or an object of worship.
4.a formula or sequence of words used in or appointed for praying: the Lord's Prayer.
5.prayers, a religious observance, either public or private, consisting wholly or mainly of prayer.
6.that which is prayed for.
7.a petition; entreaty.
8.the section of a bill in equity, or of a petition, that sets forth the complaint or the action desired.

Prayer includes worship. So does that mean that singing, reading the Bible , fellowship with christian brothers and sisters can be counted as prayer?
