Psalm 141:3
New Life Version
3 O Lord, put a watch over my mouth. Keep watch over the door of my lips.
Sometimes it is best not to say anything. Words have power. When you are in the midst of a situation where it is imperative that you be quiet. In life, one of the hardest things to do is to be quiet. You may be in a situation where people are lying on you and you want to defend yourself. But God has it under control. You may see someone you love headed for a potentially disastrous situation, be quiet. God is in control.
When you are upset, it is best to keep your mouth closed. You may say something that will hurt someone and you can't take it back. The wrong word at the wrong time is dangerous. The lesson is to be quiet and pray. It is not easy to do. As humans, we want to speak but there is a time to be quiet. It is a process. Pray this prayer: Lord, put a watch over my mouth. Keep watch over the door of my lips.
God Bless
