So NOT perfect

I was very careless today with my words. I said things during a tense situation that I didn't mean. I have a hard time restraining my mouth. It is easy in a bad day to rationalize and feel entitled to speak harshly. I did it and I didn't have a right to. I was wrong. Words have more power than we think. Husband, I love you and I'm so sorry for the way I talked to you! You did not deserve that.

Proverbs 12:18 (New International Version)
18 Reckless words pierce like a sword,
but the tongue of the wise brings healing.

Father,
I mess up a lot. I know only You can fix my wrongs. Heal hurtful words that have come from my mouth in the past and show me how to guard my mouth in the future. I pray that if anyone reading this has this battle that they can trust You to change them. Keep our hearts sensitive to the ones we love and let us build them up and not tear them down. Lord I thank you for fully covering our mistakes and giving us Your hope.
In Jesus' name,
Amen
