The Parable of the Widow and the Unjust Judge
18 And he told them a parable, to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. 2 He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor regarded man; 3 and there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Vindicate me against my adversary.’ 4 For a while he refused; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor regard man, 5 yet because this widow bothers me, I will vindicate her, or she will wear me out by her continual coming.’” 6 And the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says. 7 And will not God vindicate his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? 8 I tell you, he will vindicate them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, will he find faith on earth?”
Also, on a personal note, not long ago I asked whether God the Father gets sick and tired of hearing the Our Father over and over again. He's God, and wouldn't He just get sick and tired of the repetition from billions of people over the millennia. The reply that I got a couple of days later:
"The 'Our Father' is a love letter to the Father that He never tires of. Never."
So, I try to make sure I say it as best I can, every time.

Bad examples in each case!
Repeating the same prayer day by day is not what Yeshua was talking about.
Repeating the same words in the same prayer is what he meant.
That is deeply pagan, as it assumes that the power in in the repetition, rather than the appeal to Yehova.

That is what the Lord wants. Thank-you for your sharing and God Bless.
