Scripture
James 3:1-12
Translation
NkJV

What God said to me
Oh be careful little mouth what you say. I know that it is difficult to guard your words, but you must try. The things you say and/or the way you say them can affect how others approach Me. Be careful that you do not cause others to sin because of the words that come from your mouth.
What I said to God
It seems so much easier to keep my mouth shut. I appreciate that You have made me a “thinker” and that often by the time I have thought through a response the moment has passed.  Though this often seems to cause people to treat me as though they think I am stupid, it has, on many occasions kept me from saying things that I would later regret. For those times that I do not think - forgive me.
