We often hear the old phrase, “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” It is a good comeback on the playground, but the truth is in life negative talk can pierce the thickest of skin. (Proverb 17:20….”he who has a perverse (or negative) tongue falls into evil.” The bible is full of warnings against using words as a weapon. So, if you know someone who’s guilty of verbal violence and is struggling to overcome it, I encourage you to pray for him or her “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, o Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.” (Psalms 19:14)
