PRAYER OF THE DAY - Proverbs 18:21
Dear God, Creator of all things, we turn to You on this new day with gratitude in our hearts. We recognize the importance of the words we speak and the intentions we carry. May this day that begins, we be aware of the power of our words and the vibrations we transmit to others.
Help us, Lord, to use our words to edify and encourage those around us. May they be sources of love, kindness and hope, capable of inspiring and strengthening those around us. May every word that comes out of our mouths be a reflection of Your love and Your wisdom.
Give us the discernment to recognize when our words can hurt or cause pain. Help us to be patient and compassionate, always choosing the path of kindness and compassion. May we be instruments of Your peace in this troubled world, spreading words of reconciliation and forgiveness.
May the words we speak be like seeds thrown in the wind, capable of growing and blossoming into beautiful fruits of love and understanding. May we be channels of Your grace and mercy, sharing Your love with everyone who crosses our path.
Guide us, Lord, so that we can use our words with wisdom and discernment, honoring the gift of language that you have given us. May our words reflect Your truth and light, illuminating the hearts of those who hear us.
In the name of Your beloved son, Jesus Christ, who taught us to love and forgive with words of kindness and compassion, we pray.
Amen.
