Dear Lord God,
The Book of James tells me about the power of my words in James 3:1-12, including these three verses...
But no man can tame the tongue.
It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
With it we bless our God and Father,
and with it we curse men,
who have been made in the similitude of God.
Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing.
My brethren, these things ought not to be so.
James 3:8-10
My tongue is such a little part of my body, and it can do so much good and so much harm.
I can speak words that bless You and words that curse others who are made in Your image.
My words can uplift, encourage, and speak positive words into a person's life and my words can also put-down, discourage, and ruin a person's day.
Please forgive me for my words that wound others and dishonor You.
I pray that my words will be full of blessings and that my words will draw others to You.
Show me who You want me to bless through my words today.
Please help me to bless others today and that You will be glorified by my words.
In the strong name of Jesus I pray,
Amen.
