  VERSE:
     Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart
  to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on
  earth, so let your words be few.
      -- Ecclesiastes 5:2

  THOUGHT:
     Even in our sound-byte world, far too many words are spoken in
  pledge to God that go unfulfilled. Let's thank him, praise him, and
  petition him. But let's also realize that, while our prayers need
  to be persistent, our words don't need to be elaborate or refined,
  just few in number.

  PRAYER:
     Almighty God, thank you that the Holy Spirit intercedes for me
  while I pray. Thank you that I don't have to have articulate
  prayers to be heard. Thank you for not expecting grandiose promises
  from me. I come to you as your child who longs to live for you and
  praise you with all of my life. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
