Keep the door to my lips

Psa 141:3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

This is my prayer! Please Lord, please set a watch before my mouth! Keep the door of my lips!


How often words I never mean to say escape me before I have sense enough to keep from saying them. How often my mouth gets me into trouble, not only with words but with eating. Truly my mouth is wicked, just as the tongue is wicked.


Jas 3:8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.


No man can tame the tongue but God isn't a man.


Please Lord, set a watch before my mouth! Keep the door of my lips!


Speaking is a blessing and a curse, not many can deny that.


Jas 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.


Pro 21:23 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.


Pro 15:4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.


Pro 15:2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.


Please Lord! Set a watch before my mouth! Keep the door of my lips! This is my prayer Lord. May Your love fill me, by Your grace, Your mercy, Your lovingkindness, through your righteousness now and forever!


Amen
