The word 'Amen' is a Hebrew word, essentially meaning "so be it". It was first used in Scripture in Numbers 5:22 & many times after.
We generally tag it onto the end of our prayer, not because it is normally done this way, but because we are affirming before God that what we have prayed (whether praise to God or requests), is our affirmation of what we've said. And when we also pray in Jesus' Name, we're stating before God, our affirmation is in the authority of Jesus Name that we use to approach His Throne & so we declare confidence in our prayer & in God Who hears & answers prayer ( 1 Jn 5:14).
