For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
– 1 Peter 3:10-12
This is a beautiful passage. 1 Peter 3:10–12 is such a reminder that the way we speak, and act shapes the goodness of our days. It ties together restraint, kindness, and the pursuit of peace with the assurance that God’s eyes are on the righteous and His ears are open to their prayers.
To love life and see good days is not about avoiding hardship, but about choosing words that heal, actions that bless, and peace that pursues reconciliation. The Lord watches over those who walk in righteousness, and His ear bends close to hear their prayers. Let us be seekers of peace, doers of good, and bearers of truth without guile.
“Gentle Sneeze Prayer”
Lord Jesus, of laughter and life, You, made even the sneeze a surprise. A sudden burst, a pause in our words, a reminder to breathe and begin again. Bless the moments that interrupt, the giggles that follow, and the kindness of “Bless you” that turns a sneeze into a blessing. May every small disruption become a spark of joy, and every breath restored be a gift of Your grace Amen.
Even something as small as a sneeze can be turned into a moment of blessing when we choose words of kindness (“Bless you”) instead of careless speech.
