Prayer for Words You Speak

 

Father, today, I make a commitment to You in the name of Jesus. I turn form idle words and foolishly talking things that are contrary to my true desire to myself and toward others. Your word says that the tongue defiles. The tongue sets on fire the course of nature. The tongue is set on fire of hell.

In the name of Jesus, I am determined to take control of my tongue. I am determined that hell will not set my tongue on fire. I renounce, reject, and repent of every word that has ever proceeded out of my mouth against God and His operations. I break all curses, by agents of Satan, spoken against my life. I cancel its power and dedicate my mouth to speak excellent and right things. My mouth shall utter truth.

I am the righteousness of God. I set the course of my life for obedience, abundance, wisdom, health, and for joy. Everything I speak is appealing to God. I refuse to compromise or make mistakes with my mouth. My mouth will speak pure and sound words. The words of my mouth and my deeds shall show forth Your righteousness and Your salvation, for all of my days. I guard my mouth and my heart with all diligence. I refuse to give Satan any place in me.

Father, Your Words are top priority to me. They are spirit and life. I let the Word dwell in me richly in all wisdom. The ability of God is released within me by the words of my mouth and by the Word of God. I speak Your Words out of my mouth. They are alive in me. You are alive and working in me. I boldly proclaim that my words are words of faith, power, love, and life. They produce good things in my life, and in the lives of others. Because I choose God's Words for my lips, I choose Your will for my life. I go forth in the power of these words, to perform them in Jesus name.
