Lord God,

You provided us much peace yesterday. Thank You. We are grateful.

Mm. Such nice words. Yes. “Thank You. We are grateful.”

(6:09 a.m.)

Yes Father. Nice words. Kind words. Life-giving words.

(6:29 a.m.)

Most Blessed God, I want very much to use kind, life-giving words today. Your Word has much to say about their importance.

Mm. Here’s Ephesians 4:29 from The Message. “Watch the way you talk. Let nothing foul or dirty come out of your mouth. Say only what helps, each word a gift.”

Yes Father. I want to ‘not let even one rotten word seep out of (y)our mouths. Instead, offer only fresh words that build others up when they need it most. That way (y)our good words will communicate grace to those who hear them’ (The Voice).

Yes Lord. Words like “Thank You. We are grateful.”

Continue Your work in making us ever more kind. Considerate. Loving.

You alone are good. Great. Glorious. Gracious. And we truly are grateful.

Use us this day exactly as You know is best. Speaking life-giving words “that build others up when they need it most.”

We love You Lord. We need, trust and want to follow You as You lead. Empower and enable us to Your good and perfect way. Thank You. Praise You. Amen.
