Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer. Psalms 19:14

Psalms 19:14 is a wonderful prayer to use at the beginning of every day! It is easy to memorize and each time we recite it during our day, we are reminded that many times what we are thinking and what we are about to say may not be pleasing to God.  This verse is an excellent “balloon prayer”: prayers that we can say quietly whenever we are in situations where we need God’s guidance and protection to avoid embittering or embarrassing others and as a result being a poor witness to our savior! When we say this prayer/psalm it also reminds us that God, as our redeemer does give us strength!
