Now, is this "vain babbling" or "more God"? Typically, the subjectivist LSM LC response is, "If we do it, it's not vain. When others do it, then it's vain." Can we perhaps do better than that?

Remember the poster "Toledo?"
One time he made a public joke that "we prayed in 6.7.6.7 meter," referencing song poetry. It was poking fun at ourselves, but it had impact on many GLA brothers, including me. I then made conscious effort to move from the rhythmic "Amen" cadence to praying from the heart, slowing down and seeking the Lord.
