37
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: and heal, or cause hurt and harm. You can speak

38
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: words of encouragement to build people up, or you can

39
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:23,040

Speaker 1: to you. Bring to mind the areas you lack control

63

Speaker 1: over your emotions. Ask God for the ability to apply

64
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: restraint to the words coming out of your mouth. Ask

65
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: Him to give you control to not lash out in anger.

66
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,960
