I'm looking for the scripture in the Bible that says something against repetitious prayer, saying the same prayer over & over.

Can someone help me on this, I can't seem to find it again in mine & need it to help a Catholic friend to see how using only the same prayers are futile.

Prayer comes from love, from the soul to speak to God, not something mumbled mindlessly while pulling a string of beads through fingertips & going through some trance almost. Of course I would never be this harsh to explain it to my friend but it's the way I see it.

Thank you & may God bless you in helping others.

"And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words."

Matt. 6:7
