ECC 1:9 What has been is what will be and what has been done is what will be done; and there is nothing new under the sun.

If anyone thinks that they have said a prayer that God hasn't heard from someone else at some time or another, they are deceived. It is all repetition for God. In fact, it is a little conceited to think that your very own prayer is more effective and efficacious than using God's inspired Scripture to pray. The Jews and later the Christians (Catholics) used the Psalms as prayers.
