By now, we can probably agree that our mouths can get us in trouble. The problem is, we can’t live without them. We can’t decide to never speak again. So, what do we do? According to the apostle Paul, we can remember, surrender, and confess. Romans 12:1-2 ESV I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which...

Ephesians 4:29 ESV Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. You can do more damage with your words than you can with any other part of your body or any other thing you have control over. With technology and word-of-mouth potential, you can destroy a person with words and not even be in...

Think about the words you most regret saying. What prompted them? Chances are, they were rooted in a desire to be right. You might even be honest enough to say you wanted to win the argument. But have you ever considered that it’s possible to right someone else right out of your life? Philippians 2:3-4 ESV Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant t...

From Me & My Big Mouth by North Point Ministries on YouVersion Open mouth . . . insert foot. Have you ever been there? You started to talk and quickly wished you could stuff the words back in. Or perhaps you’ve been the recipient of someone else’s foot-in-mouth moment. If so, you’ve likely felt the hurt of misspoken words. James 1:19-21 ESV Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be q...

From Speaking Life in Your Marriage on YouVersion Hebrews 10:24 NASB1995 and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, Today let’s ponder the instruction from Hebrews 10 to “consider how to stir up one another to love and good works.” This is a call to action for us to help motivate one another toward living righteous, Kingdom-minded lives. Proverbs 25:11 NASB1995 Like a...

Proverbs 4:23 NASB1995 Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life. God’s transformation is not to change our words or actions, but to change our heart. The words we say flow out of what is in our hearts and on our minds. What enters through our eyes and ears takes root in our mind and shapes our heart. The things we pour in and meditate on will certainly show up...

From Speaking Life in Your Marriage on YouVersion Ephesians 4:29 NASB1995 Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear.

From Speaking Life in Your Marriage on YouVersion James 3:7-11 NASB1995 For every species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by the human race. But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison. With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God; from the same mo...

From Speaking Life in Your Marriage on YouVersion John 1:1 NASB1995 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The words we speak have more power than we realize. Words matter. John 1:1 refers to Jesus as “the Word,” and Genesis tells us that it was through the power of His words that God created the heavens, the earth, and all created things. The Bible itself...

Do you ever feel unseen? Like no one truly gets what you’re going through, or worse, that God might be distant from your pain? Maybe you’re carrying unspoken hurts—broken friendships, betrayals, rejection, or even disappointment in yourself. It’s hard to face those deep aches, and sometimes, it feels like no one understands. I know this feeling all too well. There have been seasons in my life wher...

Life can feel overwhelming—appointments, deadlines, endless to-do lists, and expectations pulling you in every direction. It’s easy to get caught in the rush, feeling like you’re always chasing something just out of reach. And when everything feels like it’s speeding up, it’s hard to catch your breath, let alone experience peace. But no matter how chaotic life becomes, there’s one thing that remai...

Are you feeling the weight of big decisions, stressed about making the “right” choice, or afraid of missing God’s plan? Psalm 23 is one of the most comforting and soul-settling passages in the Bible.

Today, let’s begin with just the first verse: “The Lord...

Life can feel so heavy sometimes, can’t it? Maybe you’re facing challenges that seem impossible, decisions that feel overwhelming, or the relentless pace of your day-to-day life is wearing you down. When the weight feels too much, it’s easy to believe you need to keep pushing through—relying on your own strength and effort to make it work. But what if you don’t have to? Breath prayer offers a simp...

Sometimes, life can feel like too much—restlessness, rushing, and restrictive. In those moments, it’s hard to catch your breath. I had asthma when I was young, and one of my sons is navigating a similar journey. When it’s hard to breathe, we’re taught to breathe deeper. To slow each inhale and further extend the exhale with intentional breaths, often inhaling medication at the same time. I’ve hear...
