Lord, Make Me Slow to Speak — A Prayer for Grace-Filled Words In a world of quick opinions and instant reactions, Scripture calls us to slow down. To listen first. To pause. To speak with wisdom and grace. 📖 “Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.” — James 1:19 (NIV) This heartfelt prayer is for anyone who’s struggled to hold their tongue, rushed to judgment, or regretted words spoken too soon. Ask God today to give you a calm heart and careful words that reflect His love—not your frustration. 🙌 Let your words bring peace, not division. Healing, not harm.
