Crossword Genius

Praying to find unusually gifted child (6,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

infant prodigy

'gifted child' is the definition.

'praying to find unusually' is the wordplay.
'unusually' is an anagram indicator.
'praying'+'to'+'find'='prayingtofind'
'prayingtofind' with letters rearranged gives 'INFANT PRODIGY'.

(Other definitions for infant prodigy that I've seen before include "junior mastermind" , "Mozart?" , "Young genius" , "Wonder child" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
