Control Our Tongue

Proverbs 13:3

Those who control their tongue will have a long life; opening your mouth can ruin everything.

O Lord God, my Lord and my Father, please help me. Put a guard on my mouth and keep me from verbally inserting myself where I need to step back. Please keep me out of the way of Your working in the lives and hearts of those close to me. Teach me to be the servant of those who are part of my life. Strengthen me to keep my mouth shut and teach only by my example, without any words at all.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
