Giving it Some Further Thought:
1. Has anyone ever spoken words to you that hurt your feelings or made you feel bad about yourself or your life? What was the most hurtful time you can remember? How does that memory affect the way you speak to others?
2. Have you ever spoken words to someone that may have hurt them or that you regret saying? If so, confess that to God and ask Him to help you apologize to that person.
3. Write out a prayer asking God to reveal to you any time you spoke words that hurt someone, or used language that wasn't pleasing to Him, that you are not even aware of. Write down what He shows you and ask Him to forgive you/
