((_ But even the most well intended prayer can sometimes go astray due to the desires of people. We are all still human and can let our emotions cloud our ability to hear the Voice of God.}}
Private prayer and public prayer are rather different.
One praying in public should ensure that those who are praying with him understand what he is saying and that the prayer is a correct one so that they may properly join him in spirit.
But the private prayer of a born again believer is that of a child freely talking to his Father without restraint or consideration of proper form.
God knows what we are thinking. Why say anything except what is on our mind?
KJV Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
Note that the indwelling Spirit shares our infirmities and our lack of ability to pray in proper language. This is in parallel to the limitations assumed by the First Paraclete or Supporter who emptied Himself and took the form of a servant and became man, and born under the law, became obedient unto the death of the Cross.
It is the First Paraclete, having a feeling for our infirmities, having been in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin, now seated at the right hand of the Father, who searches our hearts and understands the mind of the Spirit and represents our requests properly before the Father, despite our limitations.
