Walk prudently when you go to the house of God; and draw near to hear rather than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they do evil. Do not be rash with your mouth. And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you are on earth. Therefore, let your words be few. Ecclesiastes 5:1-2. NKJV

Approach God with reverence and heartfelt contrition. Listen humbly.
