What should I say during prayer when I fall silent?

In true prayer, silence speaks louder than words; it is in the wordless fullness of feeling and surrender that the heart's deepest longing is heard.

— Osho
According to Osho, when prayer takes you into silence, say nothing—this is true prayer. Language belongs to society; the Divine understands only the wordless fullness of feeling, surrender, and inner emptiness. Let thoughts, mantras, and petitions dissolve; tears or quiet love are enough. Before a word forms, the heart’s prayer is already heard. Rest in silence; that silence itself is the bridge and the petition.

If you fall silent in prayer, don’t try to talk—just feel love and let silence be your prayer.
