Therefore, get rid of all the moral filth and evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word implanted in you, which can save you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div>Powerful and holy God, you are incredible \u2013 beyond my understanding. It is beyond my understanding how you tolerate all the meaningless, senseless verbal comments, gossip and hurtful speech made by your other children. Dear Father, I ask you to release the Holy Spirit to convict my heart and protect my lips from any kind of hurtful speech. Therefore, dear Father, we ask that You grow the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) and a true Christ-likeness within us (2 Corinthians 3:18) so that our words and hearts reflect You and bless others as You will. We pray that we will treat others the way Jesus did.
