I pretty much try to stick to the menu. That is I try to find out what it is God's will to give to me, than I ask for those things. Usually I do not use language, but thoughts or even just convey my feeling to Him.
Prayer is of different kinds, secret (Matt. 6:6); social (Matt. 18:20), as family prayers, and in social worship; and public, in the service of the sanctuary. Some people like to manipulate prayer with we only have to pray in secret Its not true If someone is sick we pray not in secret for them. (Intercession prayer is to be prayed in secret).
Christ set an example for us to pray for others. Luke 22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. We are commanded to intercede for other people; 1 Timothy 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
No rules are anywhere in Scripture laid down for the manner of prayer or the attitude to be assumed by the suppliant.
There is mention made of kneeling in prayer (1 Kings 8:54; 2 Chr. 6:13; Ps. 95:6; Isa. 45:23; Luke 22:41; Acts 7:60; 9:40; Eph. 3:14, etc.);
of bowing and falling face down (Gen. 24:26, 52; Ex. 4:31; 12:27; Matt. 26:39; Mark 14:35, etc.);
of spreading out the hands (1 Kings 8:22, 38, 54; Ps. 28:2; 63:4; 88:9; 1 Tim. 2:8, etc.);
and of standing (1 Sam. 1:26; 1 Kings 8:14, 55; 2 Chr. 20:9; Mark 11:25; Luke 18:11, 13).
