In this scripture, it says that if we pray always, we can have a special super power. What is it?

We can have the power to overcome Satan and his followers. 

What does it mean to pray always? Does this mean that we always need to be on our knees praying?

No! It does not. It means that we should develop habits of praying on our knees in the morning, when we wake up, at night, before we go to bed, and at meal times. During the other times, we can keep a prayer in our hearts, or if something happens to us that is difficult like taking a test in school, playing a tough team in a sport, or driving home during bad weather, we can say a prayer of comfort, peace, strength, knowledge, or protection in our hearts. If we are choosing the right and learn to listen to the soft, still promptings of the Holy Ghost, Heavenly Father promises us this.

Read D&C 11:12-13

12 And now, verily, verily, I say unto thee, put your trust in that Spirit which leadeth to do good—yea, to do justly, to walk humbly, to judge righteously; and this is my Spirit.

13 Verily, verily, I say unto you, I will impart unto you of my Spirit, which shall enlighten your mind, which shall fill your soul with joy;

Conclusion

As we pray always, we will receive spiritual promptings and be filled with joy!
