You do realize that if you can't explain something then you don't understand it right?I've given you the verse but as usual you are blind to the doctrine the verse contains.

The following has little to do with prayer and nothing to do with prayer being sacrifice, and above all; absolutely nothing of prayer being sin.
It is about obedience and the fruit of the Spirit.
You show signs of neither, nor any knowledge of such.
1 Peter: 2. 1. Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, 2. As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: 3. If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. 4. To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 5. Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 6. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 7. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 8. And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

Your opinion doesn't change the fact that the verse you took out of context had nothing to do with what you said.The NT precepts are a guide for the justified. You have no part in the precepts or the evangelism.
You say that prayer is not a sacrifice.
Peter says: Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to Elohim by Yah Shua Messiah.
Praises and prayers are those spiritual sacrifices the saints offer up.
Prayer isn't a sacrifice, we are to offer spirtual sacrifices upon the alter of our hearts, we are the sacrifice, a living sacrifice. Prayer is communicating with God from the depths of our hearts, closing out the world, and asking for guidance and strength to do his will. And we are to pray through Christ Jesus.
What are we sacrificing by praying?
We pray earnestly to the father when we love him from the depths of our hearts. And we lay down our lives for others, and for Christ by the Spirit to do his works through, and worship the father in Spirit and in truth. This is the true sacrifice.
I must disagree (not that the Torah is not abolished). If one must equate prayer to an offering then it would be a free will offering in my opinion, and as such, not a sacrifice. A sacrifice is a loss, and our prayers are to be alway in all things; loss in our vein sight, and gain, spiritual and physical. A joyful countenance; eager and happy to abide are the truely faithful.It depends on the type of prayer. Prayer can be an incense offering, (which symbolically ascends by the hand of an Angel, Rev 8:4). Hosea 14:2 says, "Take words with you, and turn unto the LORD: say to Him, "Take away all iniquity and receive us graciously", (we beseech You), and thus shall we offer up the calves/bullocks of our lips", (which is a prayer of repentance and therefore a spiritual sacrifice or ascending offering, (which the translators like to rather erroneously call a "burnt offering")). There are many more similar examples and this also reveals how and why the Torah is absolutely not "abolished", (because it is supernal and spiritual just as even Paul says).

You've already be proven wrong on the account you wish to bring up again.Just because you don't understand the scriptures does not invalidate them.

I will not willingly strive with another to no end.
New evidence or different subject.... You've lost as of now.
Learn from it.

How can it be a sacrifice.
I do not deny that prayer is an offering or at very least is symbolic of an offering. I do not deny that we offer up our whole selves in faithful love for the Lord GOD. I cannot agree that prayer itself is a sacrifice, unless you consider it a sacrifice of pride/ a free will offering.

I agree with you about the symbolism from the Torah.All of the sacrifices in Torah have something or another to do with prayer and deeds or the cutting off thereof, (cutting off unrighteous deeds, whether physical, words spoken, or thoughts/mind/mental/and-or things of the heart).
Mark 9:43-49 KJV
43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
Cutting off sin also constitutes various spiritual sacrifices: it is all about the people and the temple of Elohim, our hearts, minds, souls, and body-temples; which things are no more our own when we enter into the faith that is in Messiah. It is not about animals and shedding innocent blood, (and it never was about those things to begin with either). I'm not trying to discredit your reasons for debating with Truster but rather just saying what I understand to be true from the Word regardless of who is arguing what for whatever reasons here, (in other words not taking sides).
What do you sacrifice when you pray?
One can speak of sacrifices made or to be made in prayer, but this is wrong due simply to the countenance we are to have as believers. There is NO loss in prayer to our Lord GOD.
Show scripture speaking of prayer specifically and how it is a sacrifice.
There is only One spotless Lamb. I am personally wary of equating the Lamb to a ram or goat though.Go up to the great high mountain of Elohim and look behind you: in the mountain of Elohim it shall be seen-provided, (Gen 22:13-14 KJV). I have a spotless Lamb of Elohim who is also a ram, the Ram, which I offer up in all my prayers: this may begin twice daily for starters, a continual evening and morning ascending offering, but the hours of the prayer times are the third hour, the sixth hour, and the ninth hour of the day, (and this is a little different from the statement which Paul makes, "pray without ceasing").
Do you have a spotless Lamb of Elohim to offer up in your ascending prayer offerings? I offer up my Lamb by way of his Righteous Testimony in my ascending offerings of prayer. Can your Lamb of Elohim speak? Did he ever testify? Also, he must be the son of a year, (Exo 29:38,39,40,41,42,43), and that means his ministry was indeed just a little over one year, (in case you might want to apply that to your doctrine elsewhere, such as, your understanding of the chronology laid out in the Gospel of John).

He tends all His flock friend.

Names are only symbols.Father Abraham did not know the name Tetragrammaton name of the Father, (Exo 6:3). Think about that friend, (it is too far off topic). Also you might want to check the Septuagint reading for Gen 22:14.
