James 3:1-12 to praise with the tongue that curses

Our Father in Heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today your daily bread.
Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
Amen.

Dearest Lord,
I thank you for the gift of speech that we have. Knowing from your word and agreeing also that the tongue is evil and full of deadly poison, I pray for myself and for the fellow brothers and sisters in Christ that we would continue to watch ourselves as we live our lives with you. The mouth is also an instrument for praise, encouragement and glorification of the Lord for the relay of the gospel. Its hard at this fast paced world to constantly think before you speak. Even learning the many hard ways of hurting the people I love even unintentionally, what has been done causes a scar that no amount of cleansing will remove that hurt that was once caused. I believe that with the transformation and renewing of the mind, I will humble my speech and words that edify a person will come from my mouth. This day I want to lift up the presentation coming morning that you will be able to do well and that the Lord's courage and confidence will be with you while words come forth and the many assignments will be completed and there will be time for revision also. I also lift up the salvation for my mum, family and friends close to me also. I pray also for the time that I have in the army that it will be put into good use as I continue to read up on biz writing and I will be able to enter a local university for my studies. With all these, I thank the Lord for the strength that you have provided me for yesterday's security at SAFTIMI where many did not volunteered to stand for a longer period to relief other personnel as there were a shortage of manpower and I managed to offer. Though it seems tiring after hours but I'm glad the Lord has allowed me to present my best though my body was tired. I pray for the defence of the country to be in safe hands as MG Desmond Quek was appointed as Chief of Defence Force (CDF) that the Lord will bless him in the management of the army that will protect Singapore.
Lifting all these in Jesus name,
Amen
