Hello.
One of the Proverbs states, "What dainty morsels rumors are, but they sink deep into one's heart." (NLT)
Keeping my "lips free from guile" has become very important to me. I cannot tolerate gossip; yet, suddenly I find myself surrounded by people whose main objective is to speak negatively about everyone they know. I feel tormented because I want to do the will of God and close my ears and heart to the hatred. I also don't want to be alone. Please pray for me to be surrounded by people who will have meaningful conversations without the need to put others beneath themselves. Thanks. God Bless.
