Seems dangerous to allow other men's ideas of what you should be praying every day, which also means focused on/oriented towards, to have so much influence. Each man's life is unique and will have its own functional relations between Spirit and the world. If you are getting yourself clogged up with the prescriptions of others then you might not be receiving what God needs you to hear and do for Him. You could be making yourself a less effective member of His Body, being limited to frameworks prescribed by other mere men.

I recommend nothing but Scripture, and allowing your own unique life circumstances/events to reflect throughout your own internalized well of Scripture. This can lead you into more sure footing onto the path God is laying in front of you and you alone and minimizes the distractive pollutions from others.

That's not to say not to explore and consider the views of others, including preachers and such, but to take on a repetitive daily prescription from any of them is without a doubt placing you within something of a fence built by others with their own personal limitations of understanding. It's no different than the Catholics/"Orthodox™" tendencies to focus on prescription frameworks devised by random humans who came to be known as "fathers" and "saints".

The Holy Bible has anything and everything you need in it, aside from commentaries explaining certain symbolisms and historical/cultural contexts.
