00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:12.160
<v SPEAKER_00>A kind sentence, a thoughtful compliment, or a gentle response can carry more weight than we realize.

00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:18.320
<v SPEAKER_00>Today, let's ask God to make our words a source of encouragement and healing.

00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:27.600
<v SPEAKER_00>Proverbs 1624 says, gracious words are honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:36.240
<v SPEAKER_00>Take a quick 10 seconds and think of the encouraging words others have spoken over your life.

00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:42.079
<v SPEAKER_00>Then, take another 10 seconds and thank God for that encouragement.

00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:50.880
<v SPEAKER_00>Remember how He has used people to strengthen your faith, keep you steadfast, and stabilize you emotionally.

00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:05.040
<v SPEAKER_00>Next, would you ask the Lord to guard your words today?

00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:11.200
<v SPEAKER_00>Think about the conversations you'll have with your family, friends, or neighbors.

00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:18.079
<v SPEAKER_00>Invite Him to help your words bring hope, peace, and encouragement wherever you go.

00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:01.920
<v SPEAKER_00>Give yourself fifteen seconds to think on this earnestly.

00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:29.120
<v SPEAKER_00>Do you wish someone would walk up to you or randomly text you an encouraging word today?

00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:34.479
<v SPEAKER_00>Do you need some affirmation or affection to keep you going today?

00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:43.680
<v SPEAKER_00>Who better to ask and seek that from than the God who says, cast your cares on me because I care for you.

00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:48.080
<v SPEAKER_00>And with God, care is an action word.

00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:53.759
<v SPEAKER_00>Take a full minute and let the Lord know what you need from Him today.

00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:00.000
<v SPEAKER_00>Help our words reflect your heart.

00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:01.919
<v SPEAKER_00>Amen.
