Anchor Song: Pray For My City

We use our tongues to praise our Lord and Father, but then we curse people, whom God made like himself. Praises and curses come from the same mouth! My brothers and sisters, this should not happen. Do good and bad water flow from the same spring?
I know a lot of us claim to pray for our dear nation, but from observation it seems to me like most of us only pray for the nation when we are asked to in the church or during meetings. However, when it comes to cursing, emphasizing all the problems, speaking against the leaders and demoralizing those around us, we willingly do that on our own, with every opportunity we get, even when our opinion is not requested.
I know the Bible says that "if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray(not complain) ... I will will heal their land", but going back to the first paragraph, can the same mouth curse, then pray effectively?
Proverbs 11:11 - With the blessing of decent people a city is raised up, but by the words of wicked people, it is torn down[GW].
See, I know it can be hard to say good things in a nation where the bad decisions of a few people have reduced the worth of the earnings of the majority, resulting in more hardships than good. However, we won't remove the pain by cursing but by blessings. Therefore, don't let your idle words disturb the effect of your intended prayers. God Bless You!

Anchor Song: We Not Folding
Artist: Json
Can you believe that I once asked my Mum for the permission to hawk? Yes, I did. You see, growing up in my kind of hood, and attending a public primary school, I had a lot of close friends who used to hawk, and one thing that was common with those guys was that they always had extra cash, personal gains they made from hawking. So one day, I went to my mum, and asked her if I could do same, of course she refused. However, looking back at the whole scenario, there a few lessons I can pick up from there. You see, even if the whole world thinks something is wrong, if you closest friends think otherwise and practice that wrong, the chances are that you will do what your friends are doing. To illustrate this, let me tell another story.
There was this guy in the Bible who had a crush on his sister[you surprised that something like that is in the Bible? Well, it is, you can read the full gist here - 2 Samuel 13]. This guy was crushing so much he fell sick. He thought about it and considered sleeping with his sister a no no, but one told his friend about it, and that friend helped convert an impossible thought to a possibility such that he eventually raped his sister. 1 Corinthians 15:33 - Do not be fooled: "Bad friends will ruin good habits"[NCV].
Some people now curse, something they never used to do because they got close to some people who do and they did consciously stop themselves. Yes, I know that’s a simple thing, but do you what else you might pick up so easily? I’m not saying you should only associates will saints, work or any other thing can bring anyone your way, but when you see things you don’t want to pick in people around you, don’t just leave it to chance, consciously set a red flag that, I WILL NEVER JOIN THIS. God Bless You!
