Pray for Me - Their Words - W5 D4

When words are many, transgression is not lacking,     but whoever restrains his lips is prudent. The tongue of the righteous is choice silver;     the heart of the wicked is of little worth. The lips of the righteous feed many,     but fools die for lack of sense. (Proverbs 10:19-21)Gracious God, you remind us that when words are many, sin is never far behind, but the one who holds his tongue is wise. I pray that ______ would learn the hard, good discipline of restraint — knowing when to speak and when to simply stop talking. In an age of constant posting and instant opinions, give them the rare wisdom of the closed mouth. And let the words they do speak be “choice silver” that feeds the people around them. For your glory and their good, in Jesus’ name, amen.
