Abstain from Corrupt Talk

S: 24 Put away perversity from your mouth;
    keep corrupt talk far from your lips.

Prov 4:24

O: Corrupt talk only breaks down community.

A: I have a tendency to talk bad about people even when I'm not aware of it. I need to make sure to withhold talking bad about people even if I sugar coat it, or say it in a joking manner. Slander is slander regardless of if you put a "but hes/she has a good heart". Even if its the truth I need to make sure not to spread those flaws, but always build up.

P: God help me to build up rather than tear down. Forgive me for talking bad about people. Help me not to gossip, but to always edify and build up as you have commanded.

In Jesus Name
Amen.
