TURNING THE ABOVE DAY’S VERSES INTO A PRAYER
Lord, as we think about this day’s prayer, we are reminded of times when we have said things, that we wish we could erase. We admit that we too Lord, desire our speech to be appropriate to everyone, and so by faith, we trust You to prick our hearts, before we say something we ought not to say. Thank You Lord…
NOTE: Be careful of seasoning your words “with salt” as approval to be ungracious. Be wise by being prudent.
