“O God, rescue me from all false, vain, and foolish talk; and let my words be such as are seasoned with salt, ministering grace unto the hearers.”
— William Law (1686–1761)

Reflection: Where might God be inviting me to let my speech “minister grace” today, especially in moments when I feel hurried, defensive, or careless?
