I am unaware of any repetitive prayers at the A/G (other than in the training of children). We actually make up prauer as we go. Actually we also make up conversation with each other as we go, as well. None of that is prewritten, either.
Prayer is "conversation with God." Are your conversations with other people similar to your prayers to God?
Or does a priest say something, then you chant something to the effect of "Lord, hear our prayer." Or do you say a statement, then proceed to the next bead and make another statement, proceed to the next bead....

MATTHEW: CHAPTER NUMBER TWENTY SIX
36 Then Jesus came with them into a country place which is called Gethsemani. And he said to his disciples: Sit you here, till I go yonder and pray.
37 And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to grow sorrowful and to be sad.
38 Then he saith to them: My soul is sorrowful even unto death. Stay you here and watch with me.
39 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.
40 And he cometh to his disciples and findeth them asleep. And he saith to Peter: What? Could you not watch one hour with me?
41 Watch ye: and pray that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
42 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.
43 And he cometh again and findeth them sleeping: for their eyes were heavy.
44 And leaving them, he went again: and he prayed the third time, saying the selfsame word.
