“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath”

James 1:19 · KJV

The prayer

Written prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, You are the keeper of wisdom, and no word You speak is ever wasted. You are intentional with Your words, attentive to our prayers, and patient with Your actions. I pray You would make me more like You. Reign in my tongue and keep me from saying things I will regret. Please give me an attentive ear to truly listen to those around me. And hold me back from acting out of anger. I trust that through the guidance of Your word, power of Your spirit, and comfort of Your love, I can truly heal my relationships.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
