Proverbs 15:1, 2, 4, 26b ,28 A soft answer turns away wrath but harsh words stir up anger.
The tongue of the wise dispenses knowledge, but the mouth of the foolish gushes forth with foolishness'
Gentle, soothing, wholesome words cause health and life, but griping and complaining bring discouragement and breaks the spirit. The Lords delights in kind words. The good and righteous heart and mind ponders the answer before speaking.. The mouth of the wicked pours out evil words (that hurt ).
Lord, forgive me for making everyone miserable when I do not get my own way. Help to think before I speak. Put a guard on my mouth before I hurt the ones that I love.
In this time of family togetherness, stress can cause us to say things that we should not say. Lord, please help my words be healing and not hurtful.
