Psa 120:1, IN MY DISTRESS I CRIED TO THE LORD, AND HE HEARD ME.
Being in distress forces the believer to pray to the FATHER more earnestly! It doesn’t matter where you’re at HE can hear you!
Jon 2:2, And he said: “I cried out to the LORD because of my affliction, And He answered me. “OUT OF THE BELLY OF SHEOL I CRIED, AND YOU HEARD MY VOICE.
JESUS knowing HIS time had come was in great agony, and sought a place to pray to HIS FATHER!
Luk 22:44, AND BEING IN AGONY, HE PRAYED MORE EARNESTLY. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
Psa 120:2-3, Deliver my soul, O LORD, FROM LYING LIPS AND FROM A DECEITFUL TONGUE. What shall be given to you, Or what shall be done to you, YOU FALSE TONGUE?
The psalmist knows the power of the tongue, how it can destroy, and manipulate a person!
Jas 3:5-6, EVEN SO THE TONGUE IS A LITTLE MEMBER AND BOASTS GREAT THINGS. See how GREAT A FOREST A LITTLE FIRE KINDLES! AND THE TONGUE IS A FIRE, A WORLD OF INIQUITY. THE TONGUE IS SO SET AMONG OUR MEMBERS THAT IT DEFILES THE WHOLE BODY, and SETS ON FIRE THE COURSE OF NATURE; AND IT IS SET ON FIRE BY HELL.
Even the chief priests of Israel sought people who would lie against JESUS our LORD!
Mat 26:59, Now the chief priests, the elders, and all the council SOUGHT FALSE TESTIMONY AGAINST JESUS TO PUT HIM TO DEATH,
The lying tongue is compared to a sharp sword in scripture
Psa 64:3, WHO SHARPEN THEIR TONGUE LIKE A SWORD, And bend their bows to shoot their arrows—BITTER WORDS,
We must be watchful to what we say FOR IT COMES OUT OF OUR HEARTS!
Mar 7:15, There is nothing that enters a man from outside which can defile him; BUT THE THINGS WHICH COME OUT OF HIM, THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT DEFILE A MAN.
Psa 141:3-4 ,SET A GUARD, O LORD, OVER MY MOUTH; KEEP WATCH OVER THE DOOR OF MY LIPS.
