Lord, how careful we must be with our tongues. On the day of judgement people will have to account for every careless word we speak. Oh teach us to make good use of our words. The world is flippant with your name, and with foul language. Holy Spirit, guide, direct, prod, and convict our children when they don't speak with words that reflect you. I pray that you teach Alyssa and Kyle to use their mouths to encourage others, and may comfort from their lips bring those around them relief. (Job 16:5) Help them to look past their own interest, and look to the good of others, being sympathetic to others feelings and needs. I pray that Alyssa and Kyle always use their tongues to encourage one another and build each other up. (1 Thessalonians 5:11) Our tongues should not curse men and declare your praise at the same time. Dear Jesus, move Alyssa and Kyle to use their words for your glory and praise! Amen.
