DEAR LORD, I renounce complaining. I renounce conversation that spits out bitterness. I renounce saying judgmental things about others. Teach me to talk of Your love. Help me speak in a way that ministers grace to others.
Words can minister grace.
I have needfor Your Spirit to overcome the lack of patience and irritable feelings trying to arise in me. I wait before You till my spirit is quiet so Your Spirit can fill the parts in me that cry out and complain. See the admonition of the Psalmist and the Prophet. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. You suffered for us.
