Sometimes I wonder (after words left my mouth) "Where did that come from..." What a wonderful prayer, Lynn - your are one of the best prayer warriors, my friend. Thank you for sharing from your heart...looking forward reading the results. PS: guess what my spam word is? 'Forgiven'... Oh, the tongue is just a powerful thing.

It is so true about the tongue being very difficult to tame. I've been working on it lately too. I want to be more of a listener than a talker. I pray that the Lord will keep me from interrupting other peoples' conversations (I'm always so anxious to get my thoughts out there that I don't let the other person finish talking!). And trying to speak much more thoughtfully. Thank you for sharing this. Lynn, I think this has been one of those life-long lessons for me. It is so true about the tongue being very difficult to tame.

Not long distance however over the phone though and my dogs just wouldn't count...though I'll practice here on them(lol) This was excellent and just what GOD ordered for me! You won't believe it but I really had never heard the analogy of our words are like a drop of water. I will remember that for a long time. My analogy was a mine field...hidden but ready to explode by the smallest trigger. My tongue or voice was my defender many times. I don't remember ever using my hands to fight but words..ouch! Verbal abuse is very harmful and scarring! I stuffed for years and then one day...all of it started lashing out! I had usually use my voice for good things: speech, cheerleading, theater, singing...and volume was an asset until it became evil. I asked God long ago to bridle my tongue...like my horses...to take control. But YOU are so right, it needs to be one person at a time, measureable, one step and one day at a time. I say YES and I will pray! God tame our tongues and may we bring glorifying and edifying words or no words, but muchooooo ACTION! Thanks for the GOOD wORD and excellent teaching with a purpose so we might better reflect JESUS to others! In Christ, Peggy Eph. 1:16 OK LYNN…ya got me…and my anti-spam word was MERCY…
