I believe the answer is:

grace

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'elegance' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'a short prayer' is the second definition.
'grace' can be an answer for 'prayer' (grace is a kind of prayer). I am unsure of the 'a short' bit.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for grace that I've seen before include "Favour - a short prayer" , "old cricketer" , "Elegance - prayer before meal" , "Elegance of movement" , "Prayer of thanks before/after a meal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
