...sweetness of speech

increases persuasion.

              Proverbs 16. 21

(How can I say that

             differently?

How can I respond 

with gentleness, grace

and kindness?

What brings glory to God 

         in my words?

Choose carefully.

Words are final sale—

no returns, refunds

     or exchanges.)

O LORD,

please help us to realize 

the power of speech

to bring either life

      or destruction,

to either lift up 

      or crush with a word.

Create in us, O Father,

a new vocabulary,

a life changing 

       new language,

a different way of saying,

a new heart

     in ordinary places

     and in volatile times.

In Your Name.

For Your Glory.
