My impression of “Biblical” prayer is far more about what is in each individual pray-er's heart intention than the words he chooses. Sometimes, words are not even necessary. Droning on in repetitive, communal prayer probably bores God more than it does the congregation.

I would rather my kids talk to me and ask me things themselves than to recite poetry at me, thinking that that is communication with me or that I'll give them something for their performance.
