Jesus taught us a 'model' prayer and not repetitive words:
Matthew 6:7-9New King James Version (NKJV)
7 And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.
8 "Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. 9 In this manner, therefore, pray: (begins model prayer)
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
