Finding the Words

SCRIPTURE
Proverbs 16:24 NASB Pleasant words are a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

NUGGET
Have you ever wanted to comfort someone who was hurting or going through a difficult time but didn't quite know what to say? I've been there, too. Since discovering this scripture, I've been using it as a prayer whenever I find myself in that situation. I'll ask the Lord, "Father, give me words that are sweet to their soul and healing to their bones." And you know, in His faithfulness, the words just come.

ACTIVATION
The next time you're talking with someone who is hurting, use this scripture as a prayer.

PRAYER
Father, help me to recognize the hurting people around me today. I ask you to give me wisdom as I listen to them and ears to hear Your voice as You instruct me in what to say to them. In Jesus Name, Amen.
