Lord, I pray Your Holy Spirit would guard my husband's mouth so that he will speak only words that edify and bring life. Fill him with Your love so that out of the overflow of his heart will come words that build up and not tear down. Work that in my heart as well. May Your Spirit of love reign in the words we speak so that we don't miscommunicate or wound one another. Help us to show each other respect, speak words that encourage, share our feelings openly, and come to mutual agreements without strife. Lord, You've said in Your Word that when two agree, You are in their midst. I pray that the reverse be true as well--that You will be in our midst so that we two can agree. Let the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, our strength and our Redeemer (Psalm 19:14)
