Do you have a potty mouth and you really want to stop using filthy language. Pray and ask the Lord to help you.I came up with a few scriptures that should.

Scriptures for breaking the habit of cussing. Meditate on them daily.

Proverbs 8:6-8

Listen, for I have trustworthy things to say; I open my lips to speak what is right.

My mouth speaks what is true, for my lips detest wickedness.

All the words of my mouth are just; none of them is crooked or perverse.

• Trustworthiness: The words spoken are “excellent,” “right,” and “true”.
• Moral Integrity: Wisdom detests wickedness, and her lips abhor evil.
• Straightforwardness: There is nothing “froward” (perverse), twisted, or crooked in her teaching.

Ephesians 4:29

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen“. This verse advises against harmful speech, encouraging words that offer encouragement, grace, and value to listeners

Ephesians 4:29

• “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths”: This includes foul language, gossip, coarse joking, or critical speech that tears down.
• “But only what is helpful for building others up”: Speech should be edifying, purposeful, and encouraging rather than selfish or destructive.
• “According to their needs”: Words should be tailored to the listener, offering help or comfort where necessary.
• “That it may benefit those who listen”: The goal is to provide grace and encouragement to the hearers.

Psalm 19:14…

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

He’s asking God to shape his speech and even his silent thoughts, to make every part of him pleasing and aligned with who God is.

Matt 12:36-37

I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned“. These verses emphasize that words reflect the heart and carry eternal consequences. Matthew 12 36 -37 But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

James 3:10

Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.” This verse highlights the hypocrisy of using the same tongue to praise God and curse people. Hypocrisy is the act of pretending to have beliefs, feelings, or qualities that one doesn’t actually possess. It can also refer to criticizing someone for engaging in the same behavior that one does oneself.  I’m praying for you in Jesus name. Look me up on (YouTube under SisterPatricia Ann Yarber. ) for more encouraging words.

Heavenly father, I come before you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ lifting my voice in surrender but I know without holiness no one will see the Lord, so I cry out today sanctify me, Lord, purify my heart, cleanse my mind and set me apart for your glory John, 17:17 sanctified them by the truth, your word is truth Father let you word wash me shape me, transform me daily, remove every impurity from my life, separate me from the things of this world that tries to defile my soul, make me holy.

Father I surrender my body to you the words said in Romans 12:1 present your body as a living sacrifice holy acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 

Father take my hands, my feet my eyes, my mouth, my mind let every part of me bring glory to your name. 

Holy Spirit sanctify me from within burn away every desire that is not of God, every chain of sin, every addiction every weakness and make me a vessel fit for the masters use.

Lord refine me like gold and silver, and to only Christ is seen in me Father sanctify my thoughts let me think what is pure, noble, and true sanctify my speech let no corrupt words come out of my mouth, but only words that gives life and grace sanctify my heart. Fill it with love, compassion, and forgiveness. 

Lord, I ask you to sanctify my desires let me hunger and thirst for righteousness, and not be drawn to the things of this World, give me discipline to walk upright and strength to say no to sin.

 Father let my life shine as a light to others sanctify me so that I may walk in power carry your presence and reflect your holiness and everything I do just as Paul declare in

 1 Thessalonians 5:23 may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. And may your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, Lord, sanctify me completely spirit, soul and body thank you Lord because I know this is your will for me my sanctification.

Thank you for setting me apart cleansing me with the blood of Jesus and filling me with your Holy Spirit from this day I choose holiness.

 From this day I choose obedience from this day I choose to live as a vessel of honor.

Lord sanctify me, keep me and use me for your glory in the mighty name of Jesus I pray

 Aman

 

📛 IDOLATRY AIN’T JUST ABOUT STATUES!

1 John 5:21, Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.

We often think of idolatry as some ancient thing—golden calves and carved images, right? 🐂⛏️

But modern idols look more like 💸 money, 💅 vanity, 📱 phones, 🍿 Netflix, 💼 careers, 🏋️‍♂️ gym bodies, 🚗 cars, 💊 escape drugs, and 🔞 secret sin.

👉 If it takes more of your attention, affection, energy, and devotion than God—it’s an idol.

Let’s be real: what do you run to first? What do you cling to for identity, validation, peace, or purpose?

📖 “Little children, keep yourselves from idols.” – 1 John 5:21

📖 “Set your affection on things above…” – Colossians 3:2

📖 “Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” – Matthew 6:21

💥 It’s not just about what we say we worship—it’s about what our hearts, time, and habits truly honor.

🔍 Ask yourself today:

— Is my heart bowed to God or to goals?

— Is my joy built on Jesus or on things that can be taken away?

🧎‍♀️ Let’s smash the secret altars.

Let’s crown the real King again.

No more chasing counterfeit glory.

1 John 5:21 Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.

🔥 Jesus is worthy of first place. Always.
