Doesn't mean we HAVE to pray in this manner. But Jesus gave us a pretty good template, if we want one. And nowhere in the subjequent text do I see anyone say, "That formula is now null & void". So I daresay it had currency beyond the gospels. Like the writer of the Didache.
God's system is Jesus. Only Jesus had/has the heart and mind that matter to God. Yours doesn't and neither does mine.

Now, if God didn't raise Jesus from the dead, if it's all a hoax, then there's that. But I believe. So there it is. It's his faith, not mine. His faith in me. His spirit come to me, not mine to his.

Then you don't need the Didache, cuz it's a Cargo Cult method of pulling down God's cargo/blessings.
