Proverbs 16: 24 (NIV-UK)

24 Gracious words are honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

Do you think your words can heal?

Heal as much as honeycomb?

Honey still with the comb is antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and supports immune, heart and digestive health! That’s a pretty tall order for some words.

But God has told us that words have power and we have seen it for ourselves.

Perhaps, with Gods help our words can be sweet and healing too…

Prayer:

God whose words began the universe and brought us into being,

This week give us antibacterial words, to expel harm from around us and from the minds and bodies of our friends.

God where there are inflamed situations send us anti-inflammatory words, to reduce the hurt and the pain, and take us to places of calm and healing with the words you put ready on our tongues.

Fill us with antioxidant words to undo the damage done and encourage the replenishing of those who have given too much of themselves.

Send us immune boosting words to speak into the ears of those ready to fight for your justice in the world and in our communities.

Give us the strengthening words to brace and heal the hearts of those whose lives will try to break them in two.

Gift us the words that will feed and nourish your people God, and that will feed and nourish us in return.

May we all be healed and sweetened like honey.

Amen
