Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus on behalf of Kensem, who is seeking a prayer for a wise tongue. Lord, we acknowledge that our words have the power to build up or tear down, to bring life or death. We humbly ask for your guidance and wisdom in the way we speak.
Your Word reminds us in James 1:5-6 that if we lack wisdom, we can ask of you, and you will generously give it to us. We pray that you would grant Kensem the wisdom to choose their words carefully, to speak with kindness and love, and to bring encouragement and edification to those around them.
Proverbs 15:1 says, "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." Help Kensem to respond with gentleness and grace, even in challenging situations. May their words be filled with your truth and reflect the character of Christ.
We also pray for discernment, Lord. In the midst of conflicting advice and opinions, may Kensem seek your guidance and rely on your wisdom. Help them to discern what is pleasing to you and to make decisions that align with your will.
Finally, we ask for the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. Fill Kensem with your Spirit, that their words may be anointed and impactful. May they speak with boldness and authority, proclaiming your truth and sharing the gospel with those around them.
We thank you, Lord, for hearing our prayer and for your faithfulness to answer. May Kensem experience the transformation and growth of a wise tongue, bringing glory to your name. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
