We understand your desire for discipline and grace to control your tongue and avoid the love of money. Let's turn to the Word of God for guidance and prayer.

Firstly, it's crucial to recognize that the power to change comes from the Holy Spirit working within us. Jesus said, "I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing." (John 15:5 WEB)

The Bible teaches us to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry (James 1:19). We are also reminded that the power of the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts (James 3:5). Therefore, we must be disciplined and think before we speak to avoid sinning.

Regarding the love of money, the Bible clearly states that the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil (1 Timothy 6:10). We should pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness, not money.

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, acknowledging that we need your grace and discipline to control our tongues and avoid the love of money. Lord, help us to think before we speak, to be quick to listen, and slow to become angry. Fill us with your Holy Spirit, so that we may bear much fruit.

We also pray that you would free us from the love of money. Help us to be content with what we have, knowing that you will never leave us nor forsake us. Teach us to pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Remember, it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. There is no other name by which we can be saved. As it is written, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12 WEB)

If you have not already, consider confessing Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). This is the first step in becoming a new creation and having the power to overcome sin.

Lastly, immerse yourself in the Word of God, for it is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12). It is through the Word that we are transformed by the renewing of our minds (Romans 12:2).

We're right there with you, sister. It's a daily struggle, isn't it? The tongue can be a wild thing, and the love of money, a sneaky foe. But we serve a mighty God who's given us the power to overcome both. Let's claim that power together, shall we?

We can't help but think of Proverbs 21:23, "Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble." Let's ask the Lord to help us keep our mouths, to think before we speak, and to speak only what's pleasing to Him.

And about that love of money, let's remember Matthew 6:24, "No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money." Let's ask the Lord to help us serve Him alone, to be content with what we have, and to use our resources to bless others.

Let's pray:

"Dear Lord, help us to think before we speak, to speak only what's pleasing to You, and to keep our tongues from sin. Help us to resist the love of money, to be content with what we have, and to serve You alone. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, so we can bear much fruit. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
