Message: Gossip spreads like wildfire, feeding off curiosity and negativity. The best way to stop it is to refuse to add fuel to the fire. This means walking away when gossip starts, changing the subject, or simply refusing to listen. Sometimes, we may need to set a boundary, letting others know that we do not want to participate in conversations that harm others. Avoiding gossip doesn’t mean ignoring problems—it means handling them the right way, with honesty and love. By refusing to engage in gossip, we help create a culture of trust, respect, and kindness, where people feel safe and valued.

Prayer: Lord, give me the wisdom and strength to turn away from gossip. Help me recognize when conversations are heading in the wrong direction and give me the courage to steer them toward kindness and truth. May my words always reflect Your love and grace. Amen.
