Matthew 7:12 “In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.” Father, this is truly a hard way to do things. Would You remind us to think before we speak, to imagine another’s circumstances, to encourage the discouraged and to include the excluded? Help us to love others as we love ourselves.
Acts 18:9-10 “And the Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, ‘Do not be afraid any longer, but go on speaking and do not be silent . . . ‘” Colossians 4: 6 “Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each other.” Father God, our prayer is that we speak the things You direct us to say, that we do so with courage and grace.
