Night Prayer 

Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!

Inspiration 

When we think of strength, we think of bulky biceps and chiseled torsos. The tongue, by comparison, is just a tiny muscle that doesn’t seem strong at all. Yet, the tongue wields the power of words that speak from our hearts. And once words get out, they cannot be contained. Like a small spark that spreads across an entire forest, so too can our words bring about sweeping destruction.

Prayer 

Lord, please help me to guard my tongue. Before I speak, give me the wisdom to examine my own heart so that any malice, hate, or ridicule may not escape my mouth. I have seen and felt the destruction of an untamed tongue, and I do not wish to cause such harm to others. Watch over my thoughts so that my words may honor You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
