"Lord, keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth."
-------------------------------------
I am quoting this from a member's "Signature" quote. I wish I could remember from whom it came from...sorry...)

The worst thing about (my) mental illness and my personality too (can't always blame the illness), is that I have such incredible difficulty in holding back my emotions. And when my emotions gain control, my mouth becomes my weapon.

I keep thinking about a scripture: (paraphrasing here) The heart is treacherous; who can know (trust?) it? Another one comes to mind too: (paraphrasing again) The man who can control his tongue...(?)

I guess I keep thinking about this (which is so cool!) is because, at this particular moment in my life, I need this prayer answered.

Yahweh...please help me!
