I was thinking how many worship teams "perform" onstage when I read this.
David danced before the Lord with all his might, & his heart showed in every step.
"Performance" worship of any kind isn't acceptable in or out of church. God looks only at the heart, for from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
He knows how many are "faking it".

My prayers typically start with something like "Father, will you show me...?" or "Father, please tell me about..." I typically always thank Him for what He is doing and has done in my life. Often loved ones come into my mind and I will pray for them. I will often ask to understand what He is doing in difficult times. When I was young I would ask Him to take the difficulties away. I've learned to see His hand in all my circumstances, at least more of them.

As a few examples,
"Oh, I'm running to your arms " >> ""Oh, I'm resting in your arms".
"Take me past the outer court into the Holy place,
past the brazen altar, Lord, I long to see your face.
Take me by the crowds of people, and the priests who sing your praise.
Lord, I hunger and thirst for your righteousness,
But it's only found in one Place.
Take me into the Holy of Holies. Take me in by the blood of the Lamb. Take me into the Holy of Holies.
Take the coal. Cleanse my lips. Here I am." >>
You took me past the outer court, I'm in Your Holy place,
I'm past the brazen altar, Father, Jesus is your face.
You took me by the crowds of people, I'm a priests who sing your praise.
Lord, I hunger and thirst for your righteousness,
But it's only found in one Name.
You've brought me into Your Holy of Holies. Took me in by the blood of the Lamb. You've brought me into Your Holy of Holies.
Jesus is the coal who cleansed my lips. Here I am."
I added two or three extra verses to a song that someone had written from some of the verses from the prophecy that includes Jesus entering Jerusalem on a donkey. I rewrote the rest of the same prophecy into verses to the same tune, for our congregation to sing on Palm Sunday. I've also adjusted the lyrics of some popular songs to give a Christian message.
"You are like a Hurricane" by Neil Young.
"Let it Be" by the Beatles, became "Be in Me" - to name two.
