Heavenly Father, how important it is to be established in the truth. I recognise that there are many times in my life when I have been adversely influenced by gossips or busy-bodies. Help me to be disciplined in my Christian life and to refuse to engage in idle chatter which can be so destructive in a Church community and so quickly tarnishes the witness of those engaged in it. I pray that I may labour ceaselessly in sharing the good news of the gospel of Christ, in word and in deed, and I pray that I may live an honourable and fruitful life for Your greater praise and glory. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
