Do not be quick to speak, and do not be hasty in your heart to utter a word before God. After all, God is in heaven and you are on earth. So let your words be few. — Ecclesiastes 5:2

When you come before the God of heaven, watch your step. He's in heaven, and you're on earth — so let your words be few. The Pharisees thought they'd be heard for their many words, but the tax collector who barely looked up went home justified. Jesus gave His disciples a simple prayer, not a lengthy ritual. True prayer isn't about impressing God with eloquence; it's about coming humbly, knowing He already knows what you need before you ask.
