The words that we speak have power; therefore, we must be conscious of what we allow to come out of our mouths. Ephesians 4:29-32 states, "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage, and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Today, we bask in this prayer asking God to help us use our words to build others up, not tear them down. We ask God to help us also understand the power of forgiveness and its impact on our lives. We want to be free from anger, bitterness, and the spirit of unforgiveness so that we may be made whole. May this prayer bless, transform, empower, heal, and set you free in Jesus' name.
