My post is not really addressing "praying according to the Bible" but what we can and cannot pray-read.

My point is that it is not whether we pray-read the Bible or not that really matters but whether what we pray is truthful or not.

It is possible to pray read a Lee message and pray according to the Bible. It is possible to pray-read the Bible and not pray according to the Bible (ask amiss, or have the wrong understanding of the verse). It is also possible to pray-read a Less message and ask amiss. What matters is where our hearts are at when we pray - the key thing about pray-reading is not just simply "praying verses back to God" but to pray our (Spirit-given) inspiration from the verses back to God. This is another key difference between pray-reading in the Recovery and merely repeating verses back to God in prayer as practiced in denominations - the Recovery emphasizes the subjective aspects whereas denominations make it an objective religious practice.
