Are you a mainline protestant?
Prayer and talking to God are not distinct activities. Look at Elijah in the cave.

Jesus was not talking or praying to God. He was talking to Moses and Elias. And he was transfigured. I see the event as “otherworldly” anyway and not to be used to learn how to pray to God any more than the event is to be used as instruction on how to give offerings. The event is much deeper than that and focuses on God proclaiming that Jesus is His Son.
