Dear Father in Heaven,
Please continue to bless us with wisdom and discernment imparted by Your Holy Spirit to recognize and reject the deceptively satanic language that surrounds us everywhere; that permeates every level of society, especially social media. Teach us to respond with God's holy words, not man's blasphemous ones.
Whenever we are linguistically assaulted by ever-abundant expressions so blatantly and unashamedly (even considered to be trendy in this lost/last generation of the End Times) profaning God's name, either directly or euphemistically, grant us the wise strength to combat such spiritual attacks, and wage spiritual warfare in response!
As committed Christians, how can we not find offensive such minced oaths (not-so-subtle swear words) as in such expressions, expletives, abbreviations and disguised euphemisms such as, to name just a few common ones:
OMG - Oh My God!
OMGNA - Oh My God Not Again!
Gee! / Geez! - Jesus!
Doggone! - God Damn!
Cripes! - Christ!
Chrissakes! - For Christ's Sake!
Crikey! - Christ! (made famous by the infamous Australian crocodile hunter)
And a growing list of many more! ALL words that fly all around us like spiritual arrows piercing our godly heart! In other words, taking God's name in vain, prohibited by His Third Commandment!
We can only look to You God for answers to strengthen our spirit, calm our hearts and raise our tongues in spiritual defense.
Dear Father, we pray that You may instill Your true and gentle Words of Grace within our nature to fill our minds and mouths with Your eternal wisdom.
Forever & ever, we pray for this in Jesus' name.
Amen!
