Welcome to the forum, Pinky. :hi:
Please assist [STRIKE]in[/STRIKE] with this sentence. Should the verb be pray or prays?

The subject (My sister) is singular, and so the verb must be prays.

I am curious that the question which is simple enough comes from a teacher.

The fact that the OP is a teacher isn't particularly relevant here because they're not a teacher of English. I am surprised, though, that the question comes from a native English speaker.
