Sometimes the prayer I come to in my daily prayer book is just so appropriate

"Think about the situations that you will face and the emotions you may feel…. Where is it possible that you will become angry? … Do you have anyone you wish to harm? Even if only through words…. Now commit those situations to God, … and to only speaking words that are helpful. Think about your motivation for speaking words that injure or mislead versus words that buildup…. Father, grant me, I ask, the perspective to see the power of my emotions and words for good or harm, and the desire to use them for Your glory and for the good of others. Amen."
