Speaking Life

Here is a little sixty-second prayer to help us speak words of life, taken from Stomie O'Martian's book, Prayers for Emotional Wholeness.

"God, I pray that You would cause only good and excellent things to come from my lips.  Fill my heart with Your love, peace, patience, and kindness so that it overflows from my mouth.  Help me to speak of positive things and not negative-words that bring life and not death.   I know the words I speak can bring blessings into my life or they can keep blessings from me.  Help me to never shut off the flow of all You have for me by speaking words that are not glorifying to You. "

"Listen, for I will speak of excellent things,
 and from the opening of my lips will come right things."
Proverbs 8:6
