Take a moment to refresh, refocus, and refine your faith.
Holy Spirit, you know how I relish a good story and am curious about the cast of characters around my friends and family. This leads me quickly into the temptation of indulging in gossip. Lord, give me the courage to gracefully stop negative talk about people who aren’t present to defend themselves. Use me as an example of someone whose words are consistently full of integrity, kindness, and compassion. Keep me vigilant so that neither my tongue nor ears cause me to sin. Amen.
Ephesians 4:29
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
