My Daily Prayer

My Daily Prayer Words can break a gentle heart or help to build a smile. They can set a soul at ease or put someone on trial. I'm tired of the hateful words filled with cruelty please help me, Lord, remember how they've effected me. Remind me to weigh all the words that I chance to use for there is much importance in all the words we choose. Temper them, dear Lord, for me with all my heart, I pray. Fill them with love and kindness every single day. God, help me build a better world with this gift you gave me. Make me a good example of the man you sent to save me.

Words have a rippling effect on our daily lives. The saying "There is power in our words" is so true. This is a very honest and true poem and written beautifully! Hugs ~Tammy~

God has blessed us all with the power to write beautiful and lovely work, but some would rather watch tv or hang out in the wrong places. Loved this poem, it spoke to me in a remarkable way...Raul

To be careful with one's words is a difficult lesson...one we all need to keep in mind at all times. Well said. ~ Carrie

Lytton knew what he was talking about when he said the pen is mightier than the sword. I wrote a poem (Word power) on this subject, because we can as easily offend accidentally with our words as we can intentionally. You have written lovely words here. Your words always seem to be filled with love and kindness. Love. Nigel

'Sticks and stones may brake my bones...' I never did believe in that saying. Words can devastate. We must choose wisely. Well rhymed and expressed! Love, Keith
