Our Tongue

James 3:8 "No man can tame the tongue. It is restless evil, full of deadly poison." God has brought this verse to mind after a difficult day on Monday. Sometimes I just get started with my mouth and I can't stop. Why? I need to remember that I can't tame it. I have to ask God to tame it and then allow Him to do so.

My poor husband is unfortunately the one who usually gets the "deadly poison " of my tongue. Why is it that we hurt the ones we love the most? To my husband I say sorry again. He is a wonderful husband and so undeserving of my evil tongue.

To my heavenly father I say sorry and PLEASE help me to allow you to tame my tongue!! Help me to stop and think before I speak. Help me to be sensitive to your Holy Spirit.

This needs to be my daily prayer!!!

Oh Gail! My wagging tongue has been on my confession list a lot lately too! Let's keep encouraging each other!
