Tuesday Morning Prayer

January 30, 2007

“The lips of the righteous feed many…” (Proverbs 10:21).

We know, Lord, from the book of James, that the tongue can be an instrument of great hurt and evil.  But when we have seen and cherished the gospel of Christ, our lips are to become instruments of righteousness, through which others would come to know and love You more.  Help us, Lord, to speak in such a way that many would be fed with the words of life.  Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds from Your mouth.  So open our mouths to speak Your words, so that the souls of Your people would be nourished with Your glorious truth.  Guard us from all malicious, destructive speech, and empower us to speak only that which edifies others and exalts our Lord Jesus.
