AUTHOR: MARY LAWRENCE-DOKPESI

SCRIPTURE:

“Indeed, no one can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly venom.” -James 3:2

TAMING THE TONGUE – THE POWER OF OUR WORDS

Reflection:
Our words have immense power. They can build up or tear down, bless or curse. Uncontrolled speech can lead to conflict and hinder our spiritual growth.

What Next?
Be mindful of your words before you speak. Ask God for wisdom and discernment. Seek forgiveness if you’ve used your tongue to hurt others.

Powerful Prayer Point:
“Lord set a guard over my mouth, keep watch over the door of my lips. Help me to use my words to build others up and bring glory to You. Amen.”

Additional Verses: Proverbs 15:1; Ephesians 4:29; Colossians 3:8
