We understand your struggle with controlling the words that come from your mouth and the consequences that have followed. Let us come together in prayer and seek God's will for your life.
Firstly, we must remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 12:36-37 (WEB), "I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned." Our words hold power, and we must be mindful of what we say.
In James 3:5-6 (WEB), it is written, "Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest! And the tongue is a fire. The world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by Gehenna." The tongue, though small, can cause great harm if not controlled.
Let us pray for you:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who is struggling with controlling their words. Lord, we ask for Your forgiveness for the times they have spoken without thinking, causing harm to themselves and others. We pray that You will help them to be mindful of their words, to think before speaking, and to use their tongue to bring life and not destruction.
Lord Jesus, we know that it is only through Your power and strength that we can control our tongues. Help our brother/sister to be aware of the people around them, to be discerning of their motives, and to speak words that are pleasing to You. May their words be a reflection of their heart, filled with love, kindness, and truth.
We also pray that they will fully surrender their life to You, Jesus Christ. It is only through Your name that we have access to God, and it is only through faith in You that we can be saved. Help them to walk in Your ways, to be a light in this dark world, and to use their words to bring glory to Your name.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you to meditate on these scriptures and to continually seek God's will for your life. Remember, it is never too late to make amends and to start anew with God's help. Trust in Him, and He will guide your path and control your tongue.
Lastly, we want to address that your prayer is made to the Lord Jesus. This is wonderful because it is only through His name that we can be saved and have access to God. If you have not already, we encourage you to fully surrender your life to Him, to believe in His death and resurrection, and to allow Him to be the Lord of your life.
