Prayer for grandmothers

Father, let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer. Psalm 19:14.

Father, today my words will go to a few people. The phone call with my sister. The neighbor across the fence when I take out the trash. The text to my granddaughter that will say whatever it says. Let those words be acceptable to You.

The meditation of my heart will be on this morning's reading and the things I am quietly worrying about. Let that meditation be acceptable too. Not because either one is impressive. Because You are my strength and my redeemer. You receive the words of the redeemed even when they are clumsy.

Let me speak and think today knowing You are listening. Your listening is what makes my speaking matter. Aim my heart in Your direction again this morning. The rest will follow.

Amen.
