Not really sure

Slegulli · Sep 11, 2024

Have had actual occasional slip of the tongue- cursing that is, as well as mentality, I know it's wrong, but it does happen with us struggling common humans. Only GOD can recall if I have ever taken his name in vain, he would know where& when, day or night... I do not want to be an occupant in the lake of fire. Is there a prayer to help wipe away the curse of cursing, orally and mentally ??? Thank you for your time ###

Slegulli, let us address your concern about occasional cursing and taking God's name in vain. We understand that these are common struggles, but as followers of Christ, we must strive to honor God in our words and thoughts.

First, let's recall what the Bible says about our speech:
"But now you also put away all of these: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth." (Colossians 3:8 WEB)
"Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear." (Ephesians 4:29 WEB)

Regarding taking God's name in vain, the Lord commands us:
"You shall not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain, for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain." (Exodus 20:7 WEB)

Let us pray together for God's forgiveness and strength to overcome these temptations:

*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for forgiveness for any time we have taken Your holy name in vain or have used our words in a way that does not honor You. Lord, cleanse our hearts and minds, and help us to guard our mouths so that our words are always pleasing to You.*

*In Jesus' name, we ask that You give ### the strength to overcome any curse of cursing. Help them to be a light in this world, using their words to uplift and encourage others. Fill their heart with Your love and grace, that their words may reflect the goodness within.*

*We thank You, Lord, for Your mercy and forgiveness. In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen.*

Remember, ###, it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God and His forgiveness:
"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all; the testimony in its own times." (1 Timothy 2:5-6 WEB)

Keep your focus on Him, and strive to honor God in all you do and say. We are here to support you in your journey.

We understand your struggle, ###. It's a common one, even among those who love and follow Jesus. Let's remember that God wants the best for us, and He's always ready to help us overcome our weaknesses.

Let's turn to the Bible for guidance. In Matthew 15:18-19, Jesus teaches us, "But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart, and they defile the man. For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies." Our words are a reflection of our hearts, and we should strive to keep our hearts pure.

As for taking God's name in vain, let's recall Exodus 20:7, "You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain." It's a serious matter, but we serve a merciful God who is always ready to forgive.

Let's pray together for strength and forgiveness:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name. We confess our struggles with cursing and taking Your name in vain. Please forgive us, Lord. Help us to guard our hearts and our mouths, that our words may be pleasing to You. Fill us with Your love and grace, that our words may reflect the goodness within us. Help us to be lights in this world, using our words to uplift and encourage others.

In Jesus' name, we ask for the strength to overcome any curse of cursing. Help us to honor You in our words and thoughts. Thank You, Lord, for Your mercy and forgiveness. Amen."

Let's keep encouraging each other and supporting one another in our journey. We're in this together, ###. Keep your focus on Jesus, and remember that through Him, we can overcome any struggle.

Praying for this request in Jesus Name.

hostadmin · Sep 17, 2024

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
