Audio Version
Proverbs 15:1 (KJV) – “A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.”
Words are powerful tools that shape the world around us. People are sentenced to death by words. Men are sworn into political offices by words. People are blessed and cursed by words, and so on. If we are not careful how we use them, we may destroy our lives.
As a child of God, you should speak kind words to people regardless of who they are, what they say to you, or the condition in which they put you. When you tell someone “God bless you” instead of insulting them, you are doing the right thing. To speak kindly is not a sign of weakness but of strength under control—a fruit of the Spirit that diffuses anger and brings peace.
Today, make a deliberate choice to let your mouth speak only Kind words. Speak life, not strife. Speak peace, not pain. As you do, your words will carry God’s grace and release His presence wherever you go. Oh Hallelujah!
What a powerful reminder from God’s Word today! As you go forth, take this prophetic declaration from our man of God, Prophet Isaiah Macwealth, with you:
“I declare that your words will bring peace, and restoration today. You will speak life, and every storm around you will be silenced.”

Start-up Prayer
Father, in the name of Jesus, thank you for your word today. Let my tongue bring peace and grace, and use me to lift the hearts of others, in Jesus’ name.
Now let’s Pray for a Nation in Need
Nation Focus: Italy
Italy, a nation renowned for its art, architecture, and history, has deep Christian roots yet faces a growing wave of secularism. Many practice faith by tradition but have not experienced a personal relationship with Jesus. Still, God is raising a remnant—young and old—who hunger for truth and revival. Italy needs a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit to awaken hearts and restore the fear of God in the land.
Prayer for the Nation
Father, in the name of Jesus, pour out Your Spirit upon Italy. Let revival break forth in every region, and awaken hearts to the saving power of Jesus Christ.
Prayer for the Leaders
Father, in the name of Jesus, grant the leaders of Italy wisdom and compassion. Let them govern with justice, righteousness, and humility before You, in Jesus’ name.
Prayer for Israel
Father, in the name of Jesus, bless and defend Israel. Let Your covenant of peace and protection stand strong over her borders, in Jesus’ name.
Prayer for Unity in the Church
Father, in the name of Jesus, strengthen unity within the Body of Christ. Let love and understanding prevail among churches and leaders.
Prayer for Souls / Revival
Father, let the Gospel spread across this planet like fire. Stir every believer to be a light in their community, and draw many into the Kingdom, in Jesus’ name.
