Do you have a problem with someone praying the Lord's Prayer multiple times?Yes I do! Its called babbling. In Matthew 6:9 Jesus does not say, "Pray this prayer". He says "This is how you should pray."

Was Our Lord "babbling?"
And going a little further, he fell upon his face, praying, and saying: My Father, if it be possible, let this chalice pass from me. Nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.... Again the second time, he went and prayed, saying: My Father, if this chalice may not pass away, but I must drink it, thy will be done.... And leaving them, he went again: and he prayed the third time, saying the selfsame word. (Matthew 26: 39, 42, 44)

How can you say that saying the Our Father could be babbling?
And, since you seem to know what distinguishes prayer from babbling, can you point out --citing book, chapter, and verse of course -- which shows exactly how frequently and how many times constitutes babbling? Is it 3 times per hour? 4 times per day? Please assist me.
