Job 2:10
. . . In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.
O my Father, help me, teach me to not sin, not miss the mark by my words. Keep Your arm around my shoulders and Your hand over my mouth. I put a guard on my mouth to think before I speak, write or type a word. Father, I know that my words have in the past missed the mark so far that much trouble and heartache resulted.
Strengthen me to always remember to consider how my words will affect the hearer, to realize how I will be heard, and not just my own selfish motives.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
