Prayer for Forgiveness After a Sharp Word

Merciful Savior, I bring You the sting of what I said too quickly today—the tense meeting, the impatient reply, the silence that followed at home—and I ask for Your forgiveness through the cross of Jesus Christ. Wash my heart clean, teach my tongue to reflect Your grace, and give me courage to confess honestly, make amends humbly, and walk in the mercy You have already poured out for me.
