What are the views on whether prayer needs to be expressed at a certain level of thought?

This is perhaps a bit hard to express precisely, but hopefully you know what I mean when I say that in your head, you can think of certain concepts or ideas in quite a bit of detail without phrasing them in terms of actual words, inside your head. For example, if I’ve just woken up, I might think inside my head that I want to brush my teeth and take a shower, without actually thinking inside my head the sentence “I want to brush my teeth and take a shower”. The concept of wanting to go brush teeth and take a shower can almost be expressed in a single “feeling” before being put into words, even inside someone’s head. Suppose that someone is trying to pray to God, but that person is also quite bad with phrasing things. They want to pray to God and ask X, but they struggle to actually phrase what X is, either out loud, or even inside their head. They know for sure what X is as a “feeling”, in the same sense someone can coherently “feel” the desire “I want to brush my teeth and take a shower” without actually putting it into words. Can they pray for X by just asking something like, “God, please help me with this thing, Amen.”? I assume that they can, since as God is omnipotent, He knows what the person’s desire is. I know that this site is for Christians in general and perhaps views differ on this (I don’t know if they do) so if this is a “Catholics think A, Protestants think B” kind of thing, then that would be great to know. Apologies if this could be clearer - you may have guessed that I’m such a person who is bad with words.
