I LOVE davening, particulary during the daily morning minyamin. I find such comfort in the daily repetition and the familiarity of the prayers. Perhaps you should try attending minyan at different shuls where there is more (or less) singing or tehillim or whatever. There is sure to be some shul where you are comfortable. At my shul, during the Amidah, they always say that you may do it in Hebrew or in English or “use your own words of prayer” as Hashem will hear you. Sure, there are some days where my mind wanders and I am not as attentive as I should be, but most days I follow along with wonder and awe. What a wonderful way to start the day!
