also using words like thee, thy, thine, etc.

but ass mnn said, pray from the heart.
I use biblical language from time to time in my prayers; it is fun to say. But I have always wondered why we consider it more respectful to use those words. The only reason they are in the Bible in the first place is because that was the way they talked when the King James Bible was translated. Had it been written today, it would be in modern language.

Like I said, it is fun to do, but I don't buy the respect angle.
