Why did I say that? Do you wish that something you said you can take back?

Our words have consequences. By our words we will one day be judged, For “by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” Mathew 12:37

Words have power:

“A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, But perverseness in it breaks the spirit.” Proverbs 15:4

“Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.” Proverbs 16:24

“Too much talk leads to sin. Be sensible and keep your mouth shut.” Proverbs 10:19

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.” Proverbs 18:21

So what can we do? Pray!

O’Lord, “Set a guard over my mouth, Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips.” Psalm 141:3
