One area that is sometimes hard to manage is the tongue. When Christ controls the tongue, then we need not fear saying the wrong things. David knew this, that is why he said in Psalms 141:3 "Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips."
My friend, never underestimate the power of the tongue and how good words can spread from person to person the same way bad words can. We can have an influence on a person by what we say.
Proverbs 15:1 "A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."
Proverbs 12:22 "Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who deal truthfully are His delight."
Proverbs 10:19 "In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, but he who restrains his lips is wise."
Proverbs 11:9 "The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous will be delivered."
Proverbs 17:27 "He who has knowledge spares his words, and a man of understanding is of a calm spirit."
Lord, may the words on my lips bring honor and glory to your name! Place a guard on my mouth day and night. In Jesus name, Amen
