Praying from 1 Corinthians 14:19. Themes: Instruction, Communication, Humility.

Dear God, please grant me the wisdom to speak with understanding in all situations. Help me to choose my words carefully and to use them to instruct and guide others towards you. May my words be a reflection of your love and grace, and may they always bring glory to your name. Help me to resist the temptation to speak in meaningless tongues or to use excessive words that do not serve your purpose. Thank you for the gift of language and the ability to communicate with others. May I always use this gift to honor you. Amen.

Verse: However, in the assembly I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language.
1 Corinthians 14:19

This is a Command. The verse is commanding the reader to prioritize speaking in a language that can be understood by others in the assembly, rather than speaking in a language that others cannot understand.
