" sometimes we believers have a similar tendency to use someone else’s words when we approach God in prayer, and that’s not good at all. Lines and phrases we’ve heard all our lives can work their way into our prayers. Some of us who have been churched and rechurched can offer an entire prayer of someone else’s familiar words without once involving our own hearts. "
