A Prayer for When You Need God to Guard Your Words

Have you ever said something in anger, frustration, or gossip and immediately wished you could take it back?

Psalm 141:3 records David's prayer: “Set a guard over my mouth, Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips.”

In today's Your Daily Prayer, Whitney Hopler reflects on why wise speech starts deeper than simply choosing better words. Our speech often reveals what's happening in our hearts.

This prayer asks the Holy Spirit for self-control, discernment, kindness, and wisdom before we speak, text, comment, or respond.
