Reflect
Perhaps you had a wise Irish grandmother like I did growing up. I remember my Grandma Breen sometimes saying to my siblings, cousins, and me that “words matter.” The words we use to speak over and to ourselves, they matter. The words we use to other people, they matter. What kind of language are we using toward ourselves and other people?
Pray
Jesus, you never use a harsh or mean word to me.
Help me to speak life and love over myself
and to all those I encounter.
May the words I use only speak kindness, love, and blessing.
Amen.
Act
Think about how you talk to yourself. What about the words you use to yourself, would you never use to another person? What does this teach you about the power of words?
