Wow! Your post makes me feel bad inside.

What would be in the heart of each of those who are praying?

Did you mean for that to be as funny as it was?

You still didn't get it right though. It has to last for at least ten minutes with the fork still in Grandpa's hand the while time!
[I know you said "and endlessly" but your brevity took the fullness out of it for those that haven't ever experienced it]

I think God would love that prayer if it is from the heart of one of His elect. Just as a mother loves the happy chatter of her little tot more than her teenager reciting the declaration of independence.

BTW even the most eloquent prayer offered by a sinner is not heard by God

And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.

And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.

—1 John 5:14-15
