Prayer to guard my mouth

Dear Lord,

I give my words to You today. Help me guard my words. I pray according to Psalm 141:3 that pleads for a guard over my mouth. O Lord, keep watch over the door of my lips. I want to build people up and not tear them down. Especially guard me when dealing with the kids. Lord, I do not want to take my frustrations out on them. I want to love them. I pray according to Ephesians 4:15-16 that I want to speak the truth in love and grow up into him who is the Head (Christ). From Him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. May my children see Christ's love through my words and actions.

In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

Supporting scripture:
Proverbs 13:3
He who guards his lips guards his life, but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin.
