A Prayer To Speak In Love

 

Psalm 37:8- Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.

 

Lord, 

I come to You humbly repentant today. I find myself too often using harsh words with others and feeling frustrated. My temper lights like a match scraping sand paper and I hate it. I try to put it away from me, as Your Word says to do, but I am finding it such a struggle. I want to be a good wife and mother, and I want to show these people I love so much how I do appreciate them, and instead I find every moment a fight with the devil. Please, Lord, strike him down and put him behind me as only You can do. Stop these tantrums in my head. Lord, help me to cultivate a kinder voice. Help me to quiet the negativity swirling in my mind so that it doesn’t spill over on to others. Lord, help me, as only You can. Make in me a new heart, one which is healed from past hurts, one which is clean of future worries. Lord, allow me to say more loudly the loving things I think, to act on the sweet impulses in my heart, and to stop acting on the grouchy, irritated, anger that I know You can put down. Help me to speak in Love, help me to come together with my family from a loving place, even in frustrating situations. Help me to put a voice to the times when I need help, and allow me to remember that it’s okay to have emotions, but I am in control of them. My spirit is separate from the feelings of my body and mind and it can overcome any of the negativity I may see. Lord, help me to change what I need to change in myself to make a more loving home and life for my family.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen
