A good verse for prayerful meditation

Sometimes praying doesn't need to consist of a logically stream of deep thoughts. Rather, sometimes our prayers can be quiet reflections upon spiritual matters. For those types of prayers, it can help to repeat an easy-to-memorize verse over and over in our head. One good candidate appears in Proverbs 30:5 (KJV),

Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

The verse highlights the importance of scripture, and it emphasizes God's protection and love for us. Try taking a few moments to repeat this verse, say, 5-10 times in your head. See if it helps establish a connection with God!
