James 1:26 If
any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue,
but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

One way we can "bridle our own tongue" is by praying instead of saying that which we want to say.
Often I will just say, "God, please help me not to say that!"
And when I say that to God, HE stops me from speaking that which might hurt another person.
