Father—help us control our tongues. Please help us to be gentle and honest in every situation we face. Help us in our workplaces. Help us to speak kindly in situations that challenge us. Help us to speak truthfully in our challenges. Help us even more when we speak with our families. Help us to use our tongues to glorify You. Let our words help to turn aside anger and hurt. Use our mouths to heal and speak only Your truth and glory. When we struggle with our emotions and sins, help us tame our tongues so that You get all the glory. Help us to speak of the living water that is You. Help our tongues to bring forth Your Living water to provide hope and rest for everyone we encounter. Use our mouths to encourage our friends, our family and even ourselves. We need you to help us so that the overflow of our heart comes out of our mouth—help our heart overflow You!  Amen.
