Matt 6:7
"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."

Jesus tells us in Matthew 6 to avoid vain repetitions. Then He shows us an example of how to pray (the Lord's Prayer). This doesn't mean to pray that every time, but to pray in that manner, giving thanks, asking forgiveness, honoring God.
