Prayer from James 3:1-12

Heavenly Father, You have formed us in Your image and likeness.  This includes the tongue.  Sin leads us to say mean things and things we don't mean.  Sin perverts our words and uses them as weapons to wound others.  We have a mighty tool in the tongue.  

Help us to be wise in what we say.

Help us to encourage others with our words.

Help us to build Your Church up with our mouths.  

Even though there is greak risk in speaking, You as Holy Spirit living and empowering us from within, can guide and direct what we say to be pleasing to You.

Amen

Prayer from Galatians 5:25

A Daily Office  Good morning Jesus. Today I choose You.   I choose to live by the Spirit. Today I choose to keep in step with the Spirit (Galatians 5:25). I do not claim to be without sin.  I confess my sins to You.   Make me aware of any offensive way in me. I believe you are faithful and just. I believe you forgive me and purify me from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:8-9). I humble myself before You. Lift me up. I cast all my anxiety on You. Care for me (1 Peter 5:6-7). May I know and trust that You are with me today (Matthew 28:20). Amen

Prayer from Ruth 3:5

Father, give me a servant's heart that proclaims with Ruth, I will do whatever you say.    Taking time to answer someone's questions.  I will do whatever You say. Washing dishes.  I will do whatever You say. Listening to my kids.  I will do whatever You say. Pausing my work to sit in Your prescence.  I will do whatever You say. Picking up the phone to talk to a stranger.  I will do whatever You say. Giving someone a ride.  I will do whatever You say. Helping a friend.  I will do whatever You say. Loving an enemy.  I will do whatever You say. Amen Ruth 3:5 "I will do whatever you say," Ruth answered.
