Talk less

The more talk, the less truth; the wise measure their words. ~ Proverbs 10:19 (MSG)

The words you have said will be used to judge you. Some of your words will prove you right, but some of your words will prove you guilty. ~ Matthew 12:37 (NCV)
Kind God, I've known for a long time that I talk too much. I too freely give my opinion. I enjoy hearing myself talk. I feel important when I am giving my opinion. For the sake of all those around me, please, Lord, help me to learn self-control. I know that self-control is a part of the fruit of the Spirit. That must mean that your Spirit will develop it in the lives of those who seek to live faith-filled lives for Jesus. I'm trusting you for this. Amen.
