Pure Lips

For then [changing their impure language] I will give to the people a clear and pure speech from pure lips, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve Him with one unanimous consent and one united shoulder [bearing the yoke of the Lord].  Zephaniah 3:9

My prayer for you today is that you would think before you speak.  That you would continually choose to think about what you are going to say, how it's going to come out, and how it will be taken.  That you would weigh your words and see if they are something God would approve of.  That you would consciously use your words to lift others up and not to tear them down.  That you would see that the way you react to others and to situations is a choice that you always have and make every effort to make good choices with that privilege.  That God would help you to have a clear and pure speech that would point towards Him rather than harm your witness.  I pray that God would make your lips pure and that they would be one more aspect that you could please Him with.  That you would be serve Him with every single part of yourself, including your words.  This is my prayer for you!
