The Ten Most Popular Prayers of All Time
Well, actually, we've got twelve. But since two of today's most popular prayers may not be on the list tomorrow, let's call it ten. My selections include all time favorite and familiar prayers like the Lord's Prayer, the Serenity Prayer, and the Prayer of St. Francis, along with the contemporary, and very popular prayer of Jabez and the Jelly Bean Prayer.
More prayers: some less popular but more powerful

Fascinating topic.. prayers are not so much incantations or magical spells, but can simply express the hearts and desires of the person before God. I'd like to think that the wording of the prayer is not what makes it powerful, although the wording of the prayer can make it poetic and literarily beautiful.
You have a good take on this topic. I would add that a further aspect of the "wording" that is important is that words do convey meaning and communicate. The content is, therefore, important.
