We can make our own plans,
but the Lord gives the right answer.

A little extra sleep, a little more slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest—
34then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit;
scarcity will attack you like an armed robber.

Lord God,
May my plans be based on your desires, my plans often fail. May you bless all I do and may it be for your glory. Protect me from my selfish ways and lead me to life. Keep me from my own desire to rest when I can be working on releasing your glory in the world around me.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Commit your actions to the Lord,
and your plans will succeed.

The tongue can bring death or life;
those who love to talk will reap the consequences.

Lord God,
I give you this day, protect my thoughts and words so I may delight you.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life.

If you listen to constructive criticism,
you will be at home among the wise.

Lord God,
May I put my hope in you and not in people, I know you will not disappoint me. May my heart laugh in your hope, free of hurts from this world, may I be gentle in spirit with my trust in your plan and may I listen and not defend my desires when you speak to me.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Don’t turn your back on wisdom, for she will protect you.
Love her, and she will guard you.
7Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do!
And whatever else you do, develop good judgment.

An evil man is held captive by his own sins;
they are ropes that catch and hold him.
23He will die for lack of self-control;
he will be lost because of his great foolishness.

Lord God,
I humble myself under your authority, I ask for you to discipline me with your truth. Protect me from my sinful thoughts and deliver me to a life of your blessings and truth. Thank you for your direction in my life, help me to surrender all I am to become your obedient child.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Promise me, O women of Jerusalem,
by the gazelles and wild deer,
not to awaken love until the time is right.#

Lord God,
Your way is good, when I stray I create stress. Help me to see your truth, give me courage to follow your path and not be led astray.

In Jesus name,
Amen

92If your instructions hadn’t sustained me with joy,
I would have died in my misery.
93I will never forget your commandments,
for by them you give me life.

O Lord, listen to my cry;
give me the discerning mind you promised.

Lord God my Father,
Thank you for your direction in my life, please forgive me of my stubourn wandering from your desire for me. You allowed me to prove over and over I can’t find your peace on my own. Forgive me and take me back to your home where I can begin to understand the awesome love your have for me. Release me from my past and may I completely follow you.

“You showed great and faithful love to your servant my father, David, because he was honest and true and faithful to you.

I will give you what you asked for! I will give you a wise and understanding heart such as no one else has had or ever will have!

Lord God,
Help me to surrender my desires to the understanding that ALL in need comes from you, put my desires in the proper order so I may have peace in my heart. Don’t allow the disappointment I may have in this world to block the blessings you have for me. Help me to truly live in your presence in a state of complete gratitude for all your blessings and attention you give me at all times.
In Jesus name,
Amen

Joyful are people of integrity,
who follow the instructions of the Lord.
Joyful are those who obey his laws
and search for him with all their hearts.
3They do not compromise with evil,
and they walk only in his paths.

I used to wander off until you disciplined me;
but now I closely follow your word.

Thank you Lord for loving me so much that you did not give me all my heart desired. Thank you for making this life hard so I would grow stronger and seek you with more desire. Protect me from the distructive path and help me to join you in all my ways.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Commit everything you do to the Lord.
Trust him, and he will help you.

Joyful are those you discipline, Lord,
those you teach with your instructions.

Lord God,
This is your day, I give it to you. May I trust in your plans for this day and serve you well. May I be aware of my struggle to control my destiny and surrender to your will.

In Jesus name,
Amen

You are my God, and I will praise you!
You are my God, and I will exalt you!
29Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!
His faithful love endures forever.

Lord God,
When will I get it right, when will I place all my life and needs n your hands and trust you. Lord God, my worry separates me from trusting you, remove it and allow me to live in your peace and share the truth on how you created us to worship you and not our own struggles. Restore me to new, restore me to live under your authority in peace and Joy.

In Jesus name,
amen
