A formal prayer would be something like the Our Father or the Hail Mary, one with prescribed words and format.
Informal prayer or "spontaneous" prayer is prayer where you just speak the words from your heart.

A formal prayer is one such as the Lord's Prayer, or a prayer which you use every day, say at dinner, in which a specific formual is followed.
Contrasted to this, is an informal prayer, which is one which you make up in a specific time of thanks or need. An example might be if you came across a car accident, and you pray to God for the victims.

A formal prayer is any prayer written down in a prayer book, or missal to bespoken in a religious ceremony. The lord'sprayer, the Hail mary, the apostles and nicene creeds, the confession in the prayer books are all formal.

Prayer is no good.
We can't face problems in the world such as:
(global warming, hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, sting-rays being defensive, etc etc)
by using prayer, science proves this.
Instead of wasting your time preparing for
an afterlife, spend this entire life preparing your future generations for their lives and so on.
The one's who didn't evactuate New Orleans
just sat back and prayed that the hurricane
wouldnt flood New Orleans. Wow!!! Their prayers
were answered huh? They didnt leave b/c they were
lazy and thought prayer could help divert the
hurricane. WRONG! We as a human race have to take onproblems in the world Face-to-Face, not Face-to-Thought.
