Prayer for today (11/24/15)

Lord, please, help us not to be careless and thoughtless in our conversations about people and issues that we have no knowledge about. Lord, we need your help just to help us keep our mouths from sinning. Instead, give us a spirit of prayer for those living in a faraway land -- far away from you. Those who are hurting, homeless, wounded and destitute. Please. Encourage our hearts to become peacemakers with all men and not peace breakers. Father, we thank you, for all that you encourage our hearts to do for your glory. Amen.
