I struggle with ugly language.

It is a reflection of feeling out of control. Please pray that I can stop using ugly language, because it makes God very broken hearted.

Why don't you pray for the courage, strength, and wisdom to help you stand against your fears instead of seeking divine intercession? I've heard it said that God helps those who are willing to help themselves.

When every third word was a cuss word in my life, all I did was submerge myself in God's word. Woke up reading. Turned on the TV--Christian messages, turned on the radio, Christian music.

In three months I was cuss free.

Also, you aren't breaking God's heart any more than a baby breaks a mother's heart when he poops his diapers. He looks at your heart. He cleans us up and puts on a new pair of diapers until we grow up.

Does it? When God called the idols of the nations and unfaithful Jews "dungy" i.e. "****ty" "filthy" "excrement" did those words break his heart or was he using appropriate words?

The very early Christians [Edit: Or it might have been the Jews] had a play on words which called Satan "The Lord Of ****."

There's nothing obscene about words. For everyone that tells you one word isn't acceptable they can give you 5 or more words that mean the same but aren't obscene. It's nonsense propagated by the religious and the over educated quasi intellectuals.

Wow, I did not know that. I do want a calmer temper though for Yeshua's sake.

You and me both. I'm working on it.

Oh, my goodness gracious! Three months of Christian TV and Music?!

I would have killed myself the second week.

My wife and I were just HUNGRY! Not "hungry". He had turned our marriage around in 24 hours and we were blank pages. He just flipped the switch and we were on fire.!

Will do, brother. One scripture that can help chastise you to change is, " But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken." (Matthew12:36)
Really good scripture to keep in mind every time you feel the need to use 'ugly language'.

In peace

Never mind your god, just try and be civil for yourself and those who listen to you.
