Day 9: How will I speak over this moment?
The question I’m sitting with today is this:
👉🏽 If I truly believe that life and death are in the power of the tongue, how would I speak over this moment?
Sometimes it’s so easy to forget that our words aren’t just sounds — they’re containers. They carry direction, atmosphere, and weight. The way I speak over a moment becomes the way I experience it.
In this episode, I share how I’ve been reflecting on the power of my words — not just what I say out loud, but the silent dialogue I hold within. What am I declaring? What am I aligning with? Am I speaking from fear, urgency, or old patterns… or am I speaking from faith and truth — from what God has already said?
💭 Sit with this:
If you really believed that your words shape your world, what would you declare right now?
Would you speak peace over chaos?
Would you speak clarity over confusion?
Would you speak life into what feels uncertain?
Your tongue is a creative force.
Your words are forming your future.
✨ Scripture to Reflect On:
- “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” — Proverbs 18:21
- “My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.” — Psalm 45:1
🎧 Listen in for a gentle reminder to pause before you speak — not in hesitation, but in authority — and to speak life into the moment you’re in.
