Prayer language?

In our church they encourage people to have a prayer language.  I've thought about it and compared it to "speaking in tongues".  I can't make sense of either one.  Do you just start talking gibberish? How could that be of any benefit?  I wouldn't understand what I was saying.

But does it really have to make sense?

As I was taking a shower one day I thought about having a prayer language and I thought about how the disciples were able to talk and listen to the Holy Spirit .  Maybe the point of a prayer language isn't just about communicating with God.  Maybe , at least for me, it is a way to focus on listening to the Holy Spirit.  Listen and repeat - basic lessons.
