WHAT WAS I THINKING WHEN I SAID THAT?

Psalm 19:14

"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer." ESV

Because we live within the boundaries of this world, we are exposed to the ideas and communications that are contrary to Godliness. Too often, without even being aware of it, we allow the things of this world to invade our thoughts and speech. Our God will help us keep watch over our thoughts and speech if we ask Him.

Heavenly Father, we confess that we have had thoughts and said things that would not be pleasing to You. Forgive us. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit so that we might be alert to what we allow into our minds and speech, so that all we think and say will be pleasing to You. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
