Lord, give me pause. The ability to pause before I say things, the ability to pause to think. Give me wisdom, Spiritual understanding and courage. Courage to speak to those people you prompt me too. Courage to keep my mouth shut when I need too. Lord, some people flail their arms, I tend to flail my tongue and I desparately need Your help to keep my anger under control, along with my tongue. 'Be angry and sin not', your Word says. Give me healing and grace to not sin when I am angry. Lord, I don't want to be like the donkey that has to have a bridle in its' mouth to stop it from making noise. I want to be trusted by you AND by myself, to speak but not with words that hurt. In the name of Jesus I ask this. Amen
