73 Bible verses about Blessing And Cursing

The Bible is pretty clear about how important our words are. If I speak with grace and faithfulness, I open myself up to God's blessings. But if I choose unfaithfulness and negativity, well, curses and tough times might follow. My words, you know, they actually have power. They can give life or bring death.

So what I speak out into the world, if it's a blessing, it will manifest. But if it’s a curse, it doesn’t please God. I want to be a constant source of blessing, not cursing anyone, but always looking for the good, for blessings on myself and others. And I think the key to that is spending time in God's Word and really understanding my purpose here as part of Christ's body.

As children of the light, the way I speak needs to reflect God’s heart, you know? I want to be a living example of truth in everything I say. The world’s got plenty of pain, so I want to bring God's blessing to it, planting seeds of peace, harmony, order, and love wherever I go.

Deuteronomy 28:2 reminds me that all these blessings will come upon me and overtake me if I obey the Lord my God.


Job 1:21

Naked as from the earth we came, and enter’d life at first; Naked we to the earth return, and mix with kindred dust. 2 Whate’er we fondly call our own belongs to heav’n’s great Lord; The blessings lent us for a day are soon to be restor’d. 3 ’Tis God that lifts our comforts high, or sinks them in the grave: He gives; and, when he takes away, he takes but what he gave. 4 Then, ever blessed be his name! his goodness swell’d our store; His justice but resumes its own; ’tis ours still to adore.

Prayer

Blessed Heavenly Father, my dear good and faithful God. I come to you today, through my Lord Jesus Christ. I ask that you be my guide in every moment, helping me to make the right choices for my life, choices that lead to blessing and not to ruin. Lord Jesus, guard my speech, that everything that comes from my mouth be words of blessing and not of cursing, of life and not of death. Lord, in the midst of a generation filled with wickedness, may my family and I live a life pleasing and wholehearted to you. Your word says, "The curse of the Lord is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous." Lord, may nothing unclean or unholy enter my life, or the lives of my family. May I be a watchman, ever vigilant, that your blessing may reign in my home. Giving no ground to the enemy, and closing every door to cursing, ruin, misery, and destruction. In Jesus' name, Amen.
