Believers may pray amiss "by habit" and 3 prayer requests, while sincere and well known, run counter to scriptural truth. These requests do not necessarily indicate spiritual immaturity and one such request ("Lord, be with us") is typically heard in opening prayers of believers’ gatherings all over the world. The other two requests are usually personal and heart-felt ("Lord, change me" and "Lord, give me more love") but, when examined, fall short of God’s promises to every believer. The focus of these inaccurately stated prayers are understood, but what could happen if this focus was stated in a more biblical manner? Let’s encourage one another accordingly.

This small writing makes me think a lot. Of course, as you stated, God knows the heart of a prayer. Even if it is Biblically off, God can sift through it pretty well. Therefore, is their a need for more Biblically accurate prayer. I would agree with you and say yes. But also in my head is the question of why. What is it going to do if with the same heart I pray with Biblical accuracy? I think of preaching. Think of how much one learns to preach on the way, while his heart may be in the right place. But as a preacher gets better, clearer, and more concise the table is better set for people to commune with God. Therefore the right heart with the gift being used in a better way produces more of an atmosphere where God can move. Its a conundrum I must say. What do you think of this in the context of prayer?
