Speaking the right words

God's Word says that by my words I am justified and by my words I am condemned. Matthew 12:37. I put a guard over my mouth. I choose to speak words of life, health, and healing. I choose to speak only words that are gracious and kind.

Lord, help me not speak evil of any person. God forgive me of the times when I fall short in this area. Help me not to speak words of death, destruction, and discouragement. I will be mindful to speak words that encourage, uplift, and inspire others. I refuse to criticize, condemn, or complain.

I put God's Word in my mouth and I speak His promises over my life and the lives of others throughout the day. This is how I want to be Lord.

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. Ephesians 4:29
