WATCH WHAT YOU SAY

Proverbs 16:23 The heart of the wise makes his speech judicious and adds persuasiveness to his lips."

Don't curse your relationship with your mouth. Don't speak negativity in your children's lives. Don't speak things of the world into existence. Instead, speak the things of the Spirit in our lives and others. There are so many things we speak into our lives, our children's lives, and our relationships. Unfortunately, when we focus on the wrong things, the bad things come out of our mouths. Try not to focus on the negative; stay focused on Christ and pray before speaking.

Lord, our words have tremendous power, so teach us what to say and when to say it. Lord, help us have an effective prayer life to help us carefully watch our mouths. Father helps us understand that negative thoughts in the Spirit realm will hurt everything in our lives, including our speech. So, Lord, let not our tongues get ahead of our Spiritual minds set, and we repent for the foolish things we have said to others, especially our children and loved ones. Lord, help us pray before we speak, so we do not speak in anger or gossip. Father, when we are in our emotions, let us be slow to speak and keep us in a humble tone. Lord, let us be people overflowing with love and self-control to help us bridle our tongues, in Jesus' name Amen.
