Morning Prayer 

A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.

Inspiration 

Gossip is dangerous business! We often feel we are doing good by sharing details regarding a person's private struggle. We intend to add them to a prayer chain or alert others so they can assist in some way. Sometimes the story we share becomes warped, and the truth becomes a lie that destroys a relationship. When passing along information, we will take our concerns to the Lord and rely on His Spirit to direct our wording. The Holy Spirit will help us understand the difference between information we are allowed to share and details that should be kept private.

Prayer 

Dear Father, we do not intend to actively gossip; yet, it happens anyway. We call upon Your spirit to help us discern rumors from meaningful information we are allowed to share. In Jesus' name, Amen.
