Prayer For The Day

Dear Heavenly Father, I pray that You would deliver Your people from the sin of gossip and being busy-bodies. Lord, may we help those who are engaged in this activity by speaking the truth in love to them. Lord, may we also have the courage to refuse a listening ear to any gossip. Father, give me strength to take care of my duties and not be negligent in anything that is my responsibility. Lord, also help me to speak edifying things that uplift and help people and deliver me from any form of gossip. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
