Lord, I repent for every word of flattery, anger, and negativity. I ask for Your mercy and cleansing from the sin of unwholesome talk, according to Ephesians 4:29.

Father, I consecrate my tongue to You. Please fill my heart with Your love so that out of the abundance of my heart, my mouth will speak gracious and healing words, in Jesus’ name.
