Practice Self-control

Self control requires a person to listen to God and give up one's desires for the betterment of others.
In Proverbs 25:11-12 and James: 6 and 8, God clearly explains the way to control ones self, by controlling the human tongue which is sharper than a double edged sword.  Washington Irving said: "A sharp tongue is the only edged tool that grows keener with constant use."  Ask God to dull your tongue and to sharpen your ability to listen to others.  To many the tongue "takes ... a tight conscious muzzle on the muscle in your  ... a determined mind set." (Charles Swindol) to control  and stop causing pain to others.

Pray for guidance and KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT.
Listen for the voice of God through others.
Keep your mouth shut.
Praise God for His actions, power, protection, mercy, grace, love.
Ask God to put the right words in your mouth at the proper time so that others hear His message.

KEEP
YOUR 
MOUTH
SHUT!

Isaiah 40:31

Those who hope (trust, depend on, believe) in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,  they will will walk and not be faint.

Give thanks to the Lord always.

BUT have you bothered to ask "Where have you been?" of your relationship with the Most High Triune Lord God?  The Creator of the Universe wants to have a living relationship with you in a one to one time of communication.  In the old song, we are reminded that God is waiting for us to actually speak to him as a person speaks to other humans.  June Deniece William s and Miles C. Austin write:                                     I come to the garden alone while the dew is still on the roses,                                     and the voice I hear falling on my ear,                                 ...
