Proverbs 10:31

From the mouth of the righteous comes the fruit of wisdom,
    but a perverse tongue will be silenced. - Proverbs 10:31

Dear Heavenly Father,

Spare the people around me from any words that come out of my mouth that are selfish, unkind, sarcastic, mean, negative and critical.  Instead guide my thinking and speaking to be positive, encouraging and uplifting.  Help me point to you and the possibilities that you open up to us when we trust that nothing is impossible for you.  Give me the faith, hope and love to make my wholesome talk the honest outflow of a believing heart instead of the forced drip of a polluted mind.  Make me a spring of living water just as your Son was in his short life. 

Amen

Pastor Don Patterson

Let God clean the well and the water it produces will bless everyone who meets it.
