If you are like most of us, you have spoken some words you later regretted.
Some of us have tried techniques to remind us to think before we speak such as:
- Count to 10 before saying anything.
- Ask yourself if what you are about to say would be helpful.
David demonstrated a far more effective way to keep your mouth under control.
He asked God to guard his mouth.
Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips, Psa 141:3.
Lord, help us ask for guidance before we open our mouths. Guard our mouths.

I ask God every morning, “Lord, help me meet who You want me to meet today. Tell me what You want me to say, and keep me out of Your way!” I want to reflect His Light … and say what edifies Him. Lord, set my ego aside! Please!
