Job 33
2 Look, I am opening my mouth; the words are on the tip of my tongue.
Dear Father~
“Please help me shut my mouth when unkind words are on its tip.”
Psalm 37
30 The mouth of the righteous articulates wisdom, his tongue speaks justice.
“Please help me to know when to speak and when to keep it to myself.”
Proverbs 10:31
The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut off.
“Please give me the courage to speak your words at your appointed times.”
Exodus 4
10 Moshe said to ADONAI, “Oh, Adonai, I’m a terrible speaker. I always have been, and I’m no better now, even after you’ve spoken to your servant! My words come slowly, my tongue moves slowly.” 11 ADONAI answered him, “Who gives a person a mouth? Who makes a person dumb or deaf, keen-sighted or blind? Isn’t it I, ADONAI? 12 Now, therefore, go; and I will be with your mouth and will teach you what to say.”2Samuel 23
2 “The Spirit of ADONAI spoke through me, his word was on my tongue.
Let my mouth praise and bless you, Father!
Psalms 119:172
Let my tongue sing of your promise, because all your mitzvot are righteous.
May your words be pleasing to the Father and may you bless others with them.
