Praying for ‘just the right words’
‘Let your conversation
be always full of grace.’ Colossians 4:6 NIV
Pray:
‘Lord, I join with the psalmist David and ask: “Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my
heart, be acceptable in thy sight” (Psalm 19:14 KJV). I realise that the words I speak have
tremendous power, both in my own life and in my relationships. Your Word says,
“Death and life are in the power
of the tongue” (Proverbs
18:21 KJV).
Teach
me to always speak words that are true to Your Word and glorify You. Help me to
be careful to speak words that build others up and not tear them down, that
edify rather than criticise, that are spoken in love and truth and not twisted
by my own desires and expectations, and that bring confidence and not
discouragement.
“There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, but the
tongue of the wise promotes health”. [Prov.
12:18]
Where
I have spoken words that are negative or harmful about anyone else, forgive me.
Keep me from saying things that hurt or cut others down in any way. I want to
be kind with my words and have the tongue of the wise that promotes healing and
blessing.
Help
me to have such faith in Your Lordship over my life that I can “do all things without murmurings and
disputings”
(Philippians 2:14 KJV). Help
me not to speak negative things about myself. And every time I start to say a
critical word, help me to stop immediately and keep a lid on it.
Your
Word says, “Let your
conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt [in good taste], so
that you may know how to answer everyone.”
Today let my words honour and glorify You. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.’ [UCB Word for Today]
Please
pray and share with your intercessors, Bible Study Groups, Prayer Groups,
Church Prayers, Men & Women’s
Groups. Thank you.
