Repetitive Prayer is Biblical
Commentators like Spurgeon and Gill highlight that Jesus praying the same prayer three times provides a powerful model for believers. When you are in deep distress, it is natural and biblically sound to repeat your petitions to God. This is not a lack of faith, but an expression of earnestness, following the example of both Jesus and the Apostle Paul.
