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.
