Idle Words in the Place of Prayer

One of the biggest mistakes Christians make is basing the quality of our prayers on the number of our words. Jesus teaches that prayers are not answered by the multiplicity of our words. He further explained that this is how unbelievers think. The danger of depending on the number of words is that we may end up speaking idle words–words that are not sincere but borne out of the desire to convince God to do something for us. Jesus teaches that these words will be brought into judgment. What matters is that we speak God’s words back to Him from the depths of our hearts.
