I'm all for prayer , but my bible trained conscious tells me How To pray ... “When praying, do not say the same things over and over again.”—Matthew 6:7.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY Adherents of various religions—such as Buddhism, Catholicism, Hinduism, and Islam—have been taught to use beads to recite and count their prayers.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS Prayers should spring from the heart and be expressed with sincerity; they should not be learned by rote and repeated mechanically. The Scriptures urge us: “When praying, do not say the same things over and over again as the people of the nations do, for they imagine they will get a hearing for their use of many words. So do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need even before you ask him.”—Matthew 6:7, 8.

There's nothing wrong with praying over and over again and meaning it each time.

Yep, do both. Make prayer mantras like OP’s and create your own prayers.
