Then the LORD put forth his hand and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, To root out and to pull down, To destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant.” Jeremiah 1:9-10

In the name of Jesus, I humbly beseech You, oh Lord, to bestow upon me the cherished gift of an eloquent tongue. Like the prophet Isaiah, who was granted the ability to speak words of comfort and encouragement to those in need, may my voice be filled with compassionate and uplifting utterances. As stated in Proverbs 15:13, a joyful heart brightens our countenance, so let my words bring cheer to weary souls burdened by life’s trials.

I pray that my speech may serve as a soothing balm, gently mending the wounds of despondency and despair. Grant me wisdom to choose my words carefully, for through them, I can inspire hope and ignite a spark of faith within others. Just as Jeremiah felt Your divine touch upon his lips and became a mouthpiece for Your messages, allow me to speak with clarity and conviction when sharing Your love and truth.

Isaiah 50:4 says, “The Lord GOD has given Me The tongue of the learned, That I should know how to speak A word in season to him who is weary. He awakens Me morning by morning, He awakens My ear To hear as the learned.”

Oh Lord, I implore You to make my voice resonate like a sacred instrument finely tuned by Your guidance. May it serve as a vessel through which Your infinite compassion flows freely into this world filled with brokenness and pain. With every word uttered in prayer or conversation, may people feel touched by Your presence and find solace in knowing they are not alone on their journey. Grant me an eloquent tongue that conveys words of comfort and inspiration, like a healing balm for those burdened with weariness. Just as the dawn brings light and grace to the world, may my speech brighten hearts with kindness and wisdom.

Guide me, O Lord, to speak with intention, knowing that Proverbs 15:13 reminds us that a glad heart makes a cheerful face. May my words bring joy and laughter to those around me. Help me find the right expressions to uplift spirits and lighten burdens. Just as You called upon Jeremiah, saying, Behold, I have put My words in your mouth; empower me to speak boldly and fearlessly. Open my mind and heart so that I may recognize opportunities to impart wisdom and guidance. Amen. Exodus 4:12 says, “Now go! I will help you as you speak, and I will teach you what to say.” Amen.

Prayer for Today!
May the Lord grant you an understanding of your audience to receive your words with grace and gratitude. In all things, may God’s will be done through your voice as you strive to emulate God’s compassion and mercy in Jesus’ name. Amen.
