Daily Prayer
Our Wonderful God, When You speak, amazing things happen. The world was created. We received the law that gives us life. And Jesus, the epitome of Your Word, walked on earth. You still speak. May I listen. More than that, may I obey. May I love Your Word.
God, may I also be one who speaks in a way that reflects well on You. may I always seek to bring You glory in all I do, and in all I say. May my words be measured, and may they be good.
Amen
