Good morning, Jesus.
Lord, I need Your Spirit’s power if I’m to obey Your directives to, “Let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger (James 1:19). This is such a struggle, even for those who follow You. Forgive me, Lord, for quickly speaking my mind before knowing the truths of the issue. Seems like what we read and hear today has a hidden agenda in their narrative, whether it be a left or right issue. There’s a reason why You, Jesus, spoke volumes about the destructiveness of the tongue. Let my daily prayer and life be Psalm 139:23–24, “Search me, O God , and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends You and lead me along the path of everlasting life.” May my words bring healing and not cause division or offenses to my brother or sister.
Forgive our sins, Lord. May we as a nation and individuals live 2 Chronicles 7:14: “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
Speaking words that heal and bring reconciliation through You, Jesus, amen.
THANKFUL
