We understand your concern, MelissaRae, about those who may be communicating harmfully or not studying the Scriptures. It's important to remember the words of Ephesians 4:29, "Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear."
We should always strive to speak with kindness and grace, even when correcting or rebuking others. As it is written in 2 Timothy 2:24-25, "The Lordโs servant must not quarrel, but be gentle towards all, able to teach, patient, in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth."
Regarding the study of Scriptures, Jesus Himself said in John 5:39, "You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me." Studying the Bible is crucial for understanding God's will and growing in our faith.
Let's pray together:
"Father, we lift up MelissaRae and those who are interacting with her. We pray that all communications would be seasoned with salt, as Colossians 4:6 instructs, 'Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.' We also pray for a hunger and thirst for righteousness, that all may delve deeper into Your Word, seeking to know You more. In Jesus' name, amen."
Lastly, MelissaRae, we noticed that your request does not mention the name of Jesus. It's important to remember that it is only through Jesus that we have access to God, as it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" If you haven't already, we encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins and for eternal life.
