The prayer for relief is the part of complaint where a plaintiff states the damages or other remedies it is seeking from the court in a lawsuit. Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 8(a)(3) requires that a plaintiff's pleadings contains a prayer for relief. The prayer is often located at the end of the complaint.
For example, if a person is injured in a car accident, they may file a lawsuit against the driver who caused the accident. In their complaint, they would include a prayer for relief asking for compensation for their medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
In such cases, a party may seek relief to protect or enforce their legal rights even in the absence of a direct injury. For example, relief can be sought through a declaratory judgment, where a court is asked to determine the legal rights or status of parties without ordering any specific action or awarding damages.
In an action for a declaratory judgment, the demand for relief in the complaint shall specify the rights and other legal relations on which a declaration is requested and state whether further or consequential relief is or could be claimed and the nature and extent of any such relief which is claimed.

I need to know that you care, that you love me, be my refuge from pain, replacing my distress with peace, and be my strength when I feel weak and find it hard to carry on. Help me not to fear the future but to boldly trust that you are in control when my emotions plunge me down, and when I am in despair.
