The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD, but gracious words are pure.
God sees the thoughts and intents of every person’s heart, When evil people believe no one knows their plans, they are wrong. God knows, and He will act in His time.
I cannot do anything about other people’s words or actions, but when my thoughts are self-centered or unkind, He knows that, too. How I respond to the world affects others, and I desire to offer gracious words and actions that bless in order to encourage those around me.
Forgive me, Father, for negative thoughts and words, for fretting about the evil pervading this world. Fill me with Your Spirit so that Your love, grace and peace overflow through me. Make me a blessing, in Jesus’s name. Amen.
