PSALM 141:3 (CEB)
Set a guard over my mouth, LORD;
keep close watch over the door that is my lips.
EPHESIANS 4:29 (NLT)
Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Watch what you say so that your influence will be positive.
PRAYER
God, thank you for your kind and encouraging words. I admit that I'm not always eager to receive them because you’re using them to make painful but needed changes. Use your message to capture my imagination so that the words which flow from my mouth are always consistent with your agenda. I'm going to let you stand watch over my mouth. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name; your Kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
Since 2015, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.
