Friday, August 8 — Psalm 94:12–23
Jeremiah 4:23–5:25; 1 Thessalonians 4:13–5:3
I said, “I will guard my ways that I may not sin with my tongue.” Psalm 39:1
From the same mouth comes a blessing and a curse. My brothers and sisters, this ought not to be so. James 3:10
Grant us, O Lord, the wisdom to restrain our tongues. Help us speak with kindness, truth, and love, refraining from words that shame or demean. Let our speech reflect your grace. Amen.
