Repeated prayer

Heard a Pastor say Sunday, that there are some places (churches) that you can go to for years and hear the same prayer being said.
Forgive me Lord for what I am about to say, it is not meant as a criticism of the Pastor or what was said.
It is my opinion.
If the prayer you hear, is a prayer you've heard before, a prayer you hear every time you hear this or a certain person prayer.
Don't assume it's because they are praying for something that the Lord will not give them and they should realize it by now.
Stop to think that this prayer is meant from the heart.
This prayer is how they open up communication with God.
Their way of knocking on the door.
Their way of saying, "It's me Lord can you hear me?"
That being said, let me repeat my daily prayer.
"Thank you Lord for a new day, and another chance. Walk with me today Lord, guide my footsteps on the path that you would have me go, help me to hold my tongue, my peace and stop the negative thoughts that may cross my mind. I ask this as all things in your Son Jesus name. Amen."
