Dear Friends,

“Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.” Colossians 4:6 

There is power in our words— we can either speak life over someone or death. Have you taken inventory of your speech recently? Is what you say to others full of blessing and God’s love? Or is it discouraging, negative and self-focused? No one wants to be known as the latter, but it can happen if we aren’t truly allowing Christ to renew us daily and walking in His truth.

This month, pray for gracious speech, seasoned with the salt of truth, to be spoken in every interaction at our center. Whether it’s on the phone or in a counseling room, pray God will fill our staff and volunteers with His gracious words, so they may be able to speak words of life to each client’s situation. Many clients are broken, confused and scared. There is a chance the people in their lives have not been gracious to them, so they think that a pregnancy is something that is unwanted. Pray that they will feel God’s love and be met with words that refresh their souls, and encourage them in their situations! We believe that with this kind of speech, lives can and will be saved and dark situations can be made light.
