Is there a right prayer?
There must be; that prayer that touches God's heart to move. Pray for a ball to drop to the ground and it will. It is a right prayer, technically, but a useless one for God already decided a long time ago that the ball should drop.
So, does that mean we should not pray for our food to come today? Physical laws are not entirely like providential laws. We must, by virtue of what happened in Eden, labor with our hands -- with much sweat and effort -- to feed ourselves. If a ball did not fall, it would be by God's miraculous power. If we received money we did not labor for, it is no less by His great might and infinite mercy. Either way, God makes the final decision.
How we pray is a constant struggle of our spirit to ask that we may finally know what God truly and rightly wants and for us to grow toward that.
Ultimately, those who continue to search and who continue to pray, walk the path of righteousness. And that's what really matters.
