Why?! Why? O Lord,
Why do I say dumb things?
As soon as it was out of my mouth,
I regretted it.
If it had been the first time
I said something dumb,
I would get over it.
I had hoped I had learned by now
to pause, to think,
to choose my words.
Forgive me, Lord.
May the other forgive me too.
Help me forgive myself.
Help me learn what the psalmist says,
"Set a guard over my mouth, Lord, keep watch over the door of my lips."
Yes, Lord,
make it so for me.
Amen.
