1. Mark 7: 14-15 NASB “After He called the crowd to Him again, He began saying to them, ‘Listen to Me, all of you, and understand: there is nothing outside the man which can defile him if it goes into him; but the things which proceed out of the man are what defile the man.’” Father God, help us to speak timely words of encouragement, truth, and wisdom. Keep us from uttering words that hurt or disparage one another. Psalm 141: 3 “Set a guard O Lord over my mouth . . .”  

2. John 3: 8 “The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Father, those who receive salvation and of those who do not is always a mystery to us. Help us to be diligent to pray, witness and lean on Your guidance as we trust Your goodness and faithfully wait for their redemption.
