    Does it mean something like "I hope that she is OK" or does it only mean literally to pray?

      in this specific sentence the word מתפללת is used as a synonym for hope. if "the speaker" would actually pray for someone's health then the sentence would have been "אני מתפללת לשלומה".

          "All right" was counted wrong. I reported it.

            Technically it should accept "I pray that she be OK" too :P

                It would be okay if the speaker is a male.
