After watching video three, consider taking these steps to get the most out of this part of the series: 

// Step 1

Read and meditate on this Scripture verse: “There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.” (Proverbs 12:18 ESV)

// Step 2

Answer these discussion questions:

1. 1. When was a time when you were hurt by someone’s unkind or careless words? When might you have hurt someone else in the same way?
   2. What is one way you can start bringing healing with your words today?

// Step 3

Spend time in prayer:

Heavenly Father,
Help me to bring healing, not hurt, with my words.
Please let me speak life into someone else each day.
Heal the hurt I may have caused with my words in the past, in the way only you can.
In Jesus’ name I pray,
Amen.

// Step 4
