Morphology
The meaning 'to pray or converse with God' is directly inferable from combining 'talk' (to speak) with the preposition 'to' and 'God' (the deity); the phrase literally describes speaking to a divine being. This compositional reading is cross-linguistically common and follows normal English syntax, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would readily understand it.
Etymology
Talk to God gives a simple picture of a person speaking quietly to a higher being. They talk to God as if to a trusted friend when they need help or comfort, so it means 'to pray' or 'to ask for guidance and support'.
