— Proverbs 10:32 (NIV)
MEDITATION
How many times have you said the "wrong" thing at the wrong place at the wrong time? Sometimes it is just because we allow wrong things to fill our hearts. Jesus Christ once said: "Out of the abundance of the heart does the mouth speak." In other words, poor words and bad timing in our speech are more issues of our heart than issues of social skills and daily etiquette. To fix this problem it always better to fill your heart with the Will and the Word of God and ask God to purify and circumcise your heart.
PRAYER
Father, heal my heart from all evil, hatred, bitterness, prejudice, malice, lust and greed. Help me to drive away any evil power or enticing temptation that would corrupt my heart and wound my soul. Fill my heart with love, grace, righteousness, holy passion, gentleness, forbearance, sensitivity, courage, conviction, and forgiveness. Give me discernment to know which of these qualities are needed at any given moment. Sanctify me -- body, soul, and spirit -- with your Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
