For Success Wherever Your Word Is Spread

Holy Spirit,
Grant tremendous success wherever your Word is proclaimed. Scripture is more accessible than it has ever been, so I pray that wherever it is heard and read, your Spirit works through it to guide souls out of the darkness of unbelief into the beautiful, bright light of faith. Stifle and thwart every effort of the evil one to quiet your Word. Bless the work of missionaries, preachers, teachers, singers, writers, and any other artists who seek to make your Word known, and let your kingdom come through their efforts. Increase curiosity for your Word, so that many are willing to seek its wisdom and truth. Let your Word endure and thrive everywhere, and wherever it spreads, let the salvation of many souls follow.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Measure My Words

Gracious Savior,
When I allow myself to become angry or irritated, especially by someone else’s words or actions, that is when I am most likely to unleash an unfiltered and unloving response of my own, either verbally or from a keyboard. Such words have never contributed positively to better understanding or resolution, and they never will. Furthermore, that kind of communication isn’t just hurtful to my neighbor; it’s also sin against you, my God. Have mercy on me and forgive my many thoughtlessly spoken (or typed!) words!

Instead, help me to speak only what builds others up. Let my words be words of encouragement, that others may find them to be a breath of fresh air. Even when I am called to admonish or correct, the words I use, along with my tone and body language, should better reflect the loving motives of my heart. If I am to speak in a way that edifies others and honors you, I need to be able to first keep my emotions in check. Let your Holy Spirit guard and guide my heart, so that the words which flow from it serve my neighbor and are always pleasing in your sight.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
