Set a guard over my mouth, Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips.
Wisdom is the ability to navigate life well. We long to find the right response, the right words, the right approach as we face suffering or success, and as we manage relationships. The New Testament Epistle of James offers us the opportunity to pluck the practical wisdom of a disciple of Jesus and challenges us to make the choice to apply it to our lives everyday. Join us as we examine the tried-and-true wisdom of James—and discover how living out a wise faith can impact all aspects of our lives.

Proverbs 10:19
God, help us do the impossible. Help us tame the tongue. Give us a vision for the way you want us to speak. Give us the faith to pray that practical but powerful prayer so you can shape us into the people you called us to be.
May the words of your mouth and the meditations of your heart be pleasing in God’s sight.
