“All a person’s ways seem right to him, but the Lord weighs hearts.
The one who guards his mouth and tongue keeps himself out of trouble.”
Proverbs 21:2, 23 CSB
Lord, help me to see from your perspective, give me wisdom to understand my own heart and motivations. I don’t want to be fooled by my own selfish thoughts or excuses. I want to make decisions based on truth, Your Word and an accurate understanding of why I do what I do.
In all these things, guard my mouth that I may speak truth in love, recite Your Word with accuracy and allow You to protect my reputation rather than my creative deceit. Give me the faith to trust You alone rather than feeling the need to help with verbal misdirection.
Lord, I want to please You with my motives and my words…May I rest in Your strength rather than my cunning!
