Father God, good morning. I love You, thank You, praise You, and give You all the honor and glory for this new day. Lord give me courage and understanding when things get unfair, please Carry this for me when it gets heavy. I am praying for others today to search their hearts before they search someone else’s. I know I have to do this for myself. Help me to be gracious and kind every time I open my mouth to speak. Give me a discerning heart so that I will be sparing with my advice, judicious with my knowledge, and calm when things go wrong. I thank You, praise You, and give You all the glory Lord Jesus Amen.

If the ax is dull and its edge unsharpened more strength is needed, but skill will bring success. If a snake bites before it is charmed, the charmer receives no fee. Words from the mouth of the wise are gracious, but fools are consumed by their own lips. At the beginning their words are folly; at the end, they are wicked madness—
Ecclesiastes 10:10-13 NIV
