My first reaction was “where did you get the ridiculous idea that a Jew can’t pray to his or her God?!” It borders on avoda zara. But that really isn’t what you’re saying. Yes, you are supposed to pray on your own in your own words with heartfelt tears, but personal prayer is just that — personal. Today we don’t compose new prayers for the tzibbur or even just for other idividuals, what we say to Hashem stays between us and Hashem.
