I pray that God will make my mouth like a sharp sword ...

God called me even before I was born

and remembered my name when I was in my mother's womb.

I pray that God will make my mouth like a sharp sword

and like a sharp arrow to be used

so that I can boldly proclaim the Word of God,

the sword of the Holy Spirit

(Ref.: Isaiah 49:1-2; Ephesians 6:17).
