— Ecclesiastes 5:2
Thoughts on Today’s Verse…
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.
My 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, your humble servant who longs to live for you and praise you with all of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
