do you ever

Sometimes - lots of times - my tongue gushes folly (Proverbs 15:2).

My words pour out quickly, without restraint.

I release the tongue-belt, and soon my heart is aching with regret.

My mind is filled with anguish at what I just heard myself say.

And, I find myself praying that the words would be unheard, or forgotten, or used in some way by God for good.

Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. Proverbs 12:18

Please, Jesus, give me your wisdom, that the words from my mouth would bring healing...that they would be like honey to hearts around me.

Please give me wisdom to be quiet, gentle, kind.  Oh! how I need You.
keep me.
