Proverbs 31:26-27

"She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness."

Heavenly Father, I rely on your wisdom in order to bless others whenever I open my mouth to speak. I rely on your kindness, Lord Jesus, in order to bless others when communicating with my tongue. The natural tendency of the tongue is not how I want to be known for expressing myself.

I also must rely on you, God, to carry out my household responsibilities. Help me look well to the ways of my household. Help me not eat the bread of idleness...help me not even taste it...help me not even be tantalized by the deceitful aroma of laziness! In the power of Jesus' name, Amen.
