Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

Have a brake on your tongue; hit the throttle on your ears. Let your angry email sit three days before responding and make sure you read it and edit it before you send it. Keep you mouth shut and your ears open. They all say the same thing. Now if we would just do it, wouldn't the Christian community so much more blessed!

My Prayer...​

Mighty and Holy God, you are incredible — beyond my comprehending. How you put up with all the drivel, senseless and hurtful speech that I and your other children spew out is beyond my understanding. I ask that you release the Holy Spirit to convict my heart and guard my lips from any form of hurtful speech. I want my voice to be as much yours as my heart is. This I pray through Jesus. Amen.

I can remember the day my mother told me how our words were like carrying around a basket full of feathers impossible to keep them but we must always try because nothing will hurt more than thinking about those that hurt someone else and she was so right.. I have suffered more from the thoughts of words I have said that could never be taken back because I got angry or hurt in some way. Please forgive me Jesus for every word every thought or deed that has hurt or disappointed someone else BUT ESPECIALLY YOU MY LORD AND MY SAVIOR I PRAY IN YOUR PRECIOUS NAME. AMEN.
