I was an onwatcher in a church as visiting musician, when much of the congregation began speaking in tongues... (but NO conflict with God's 1st Corinthians 14. It did NOT seem planned, was not yelling but sounded as praying-- AND MUSICAL, in 7/4 timing).
Almost no one writes in 7/4 ... which is rather sad: This DIFFERENT timing gives ENERGY to songs. The "parable" at the church service led to me being even more when a leader began interpreting-- and the words seemed to match the praying.
God is "Different" and often USES "Different".
As musicians-- let's not stick with HABITS of 3/4 and 4/4 when we feel God is guiding us to something that sounds -- we admit it -- WEIRD !!
There's just no way to describe the REAL-ness of this kind of praying when we've seen so many instances that felt contrived as if trying to sound spiritual.
And it is SO much fun to enjoy the REAL-ness of ODD TIME SIGNATURES as we explore NEW SOUNDS for the song ideas God so often gives.

PS: Photo Description NOT QUITE accurate: 7/4 has 3 variations of hardness of beats (AKA accents): (1) HARD Soft S S S S S.... (2) H s s H s s s .... + the one I write in, (3) H s s s H s s (which weirdly sounds like an "action waltz").
.
One sample (recorded but needs rework) of 7/4 = "PRAYER CONFUSION"
where the Odd timing adds a TENSION that shows the feeling of OFF KILTER when we don't know how to pray >> https://dianadeeosbornesongs.com/Songs-2008-2012.php --- MUSIC SHEETS....
