Be careful. By practicing self-control and choosing our words wisely, we can prevent unnecessary conflicts and maintain peaceful and lasting relationships. Our words have power. Choose your words wisely.
Prayer:
O LORD my GOD, help me to be mindful of my words and actions. Please grant me the wisdom and self-control to choose my words carefully and to speak with kindness and grace. May my tongue be a source of blessing, not a cause of trouble. Help me to use my words to encourage others and build up their faith. I pray that You forgive me for the times I have spoken thoughtlessly or unkindly. May I learn from my own mistakes and strive to be a better communicator, reflecting CHRIST JESUS’ wisdom, compassion, love, and mercy, for Your honor and glory in JESUS’ most excellent Name. Amen.
