I abhor the idea of the sinner's prayer for a couple of reasons.

For one, it's not Scriptural at all.

Granting that though, it has been horribly misused and has been a tool to lead untold numbers of souls into the mouth of Hell with an attitude of complacency because they thought that the Holy God would excuse what we are in exchange for a mere "sinner's prayer" throughout a lifetime of God-hating and rebellion.

Repent and believe, not accept and pray.
