Joe, my dad does KJV prayers, because he learned that and with his limited public speaking capabilities says what he's been taught. But for the 50ish crowd and under, there's not much reason to continue using such language. It's a barrier to understanding and God's people should remove every barrier that keeps people from comprehending and responding to not only prayers but the whole gospel.

In the end, a man's public prayer is but a reflection of his private communion with God. Perhaps it's there we should focus our attention, to cultivate among ourselves and encourage among others a personal walk with God. That has received scant attention in our churches, I imagine, but deserves great emphasis.
