Shall we refuse to use him in our assemblies. He cannot express what he does not know, nor say it any better than he understands it. He simply must be instructed in truth and nurtured in spirituality. As his mind is filled with Bible, his prayer will be filled with scriptural terms. Spiritual concepts will replace the carnal as he is transformed spiritually.
Prayer is also an expression of feeling.
His prayer voiced the sob that choked his throat and the tear that clouded his eye. Likewise, feelings of reverence and awe of God, of gratitude for our blessings, of joy for salvation in Christ, of anticipation of our reward and of sorrow for our sins are the well spring from which flows real prayer. We must open our eyes to the things that stir such feelings and let them swell to fill us. Then our mouths will fill with words to express those feelings. May our prayers never the voice of hypocrisy.
