A cheerful heart is good medicine,but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength.

Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent;with their mouths shut, they seem intelligent.

Lazy people take food in their handbut don’t even lift it to their mouth.

Lord God my Father,

May I only delight in your presence as I face my struggles bringing Glory to you. Keep my mouth shut with my own opinion so your opinion it the only thing I shine. Make me diligent in your work.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Work brings profit,but mere talk leads to poverty!

A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body;jealousy is like cancer in the bones.

Godliness makes a nation great,but sin is a disgrace to any people.

A bowl of vegetables with someone you love is better than steak with someone you hate.

The Lord detests evil plans,but he delights in pure words.

Lord God my Father,

Thank you for your will, help me to only follow it this day, May we delight with each other this day for your Glory alone.

For the Lord grants wisdom!From his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest.

Lord God my Father,

Continue to reveal your truth in my life so I may get out of your way. May we delight with each other this day.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

God gave Solomon very great wisdom and understanding, and knowledge as vast as the sands of the seashore.

Unless the Lord builds a house,the work of the builders is wasted.

It is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night,anxiously working for food to eat;for God gives rest to his loved ones.

Lord God my Father,

I don’t know anything, your wisdom is all I need. I need you to do your work thru me and restore me to who you created me to be.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

 Solomon sent the people home. They were all joyful and glad because the Lord had been so good to David and to Solomon and to his people Israel.

Praise the Lord your God, who delights in you and has placed you on the throne as king to rule for him. 

Lord God my Father,

Be good to me and use me for your purpose, remove my way for it gets in the way in doing your will.

“Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, 

Give your people what their actions deserve, for you alone know each human heart. 

If they turn to you with their whole heart and soul in the land of their captivity and pray toward the land you gave to their ancestors—toward this city you have chosen, and toward this Temple I have built to honor your name—39then hear their prayers and their petitions from heaven where you live, and uphold their cause. Forgive your people who have sinned against you.

Lord God my Father,

I give you praise because that’s all my heart can do for you, Thank you for being constant in my confused life and delivering me to your peace. I only want to do your will now and forever. Thank you for allowing me to live to the point of this understanding. May I delight you this day that you gave me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Huram was extremely skillful and talented in any work in bronze, and he came to do all the metal work for King Solomon.

Huram-abi made all these things of burnished bronze for the Temple of the Lord,

Lord God my Father,

Use the skills you gave me to do work for your Glory. Remove any hesitation I may have and keep me on your task.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Give me an understanding heart so that I can govern your people well and know the difference between right and wrong. For who by himself is able to govern this great people of yours?”

And if you follow me and obey my decrees and my commands as your father, David, did, I will give you a long life.”

God said to Solomon, “Because your greatest desire is to help your people, and you did not ask for wealth, riches, fame, or even the death of your enemies or a long life, but rather you asked for wisdom and knowledge to properly govern my people—12I will certainly give you the wisdom and knowledge you requested.

Lord God my Father,

Give me your understanding for the struggles of this world, Help me to lift them to your glory trusting in your plan. Help me to pass your blessing on to others properly.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Pour out your wrath on the nations that refuse to acknowledge you—on kingdoms that do not call upon your name.

O Lord, pay back our neighbors seven times for the scorn they have hurled at you. Then we your people, the sheep of your pasture,will thank you forever and ever,praising your greatness from generation to generation.

Turn us again to yourself, O God.Make your face shine down upon us.Only then will we be saved.

But now, why have you broken down our wallsso that all who pass by may steal our fruit?

Lord God my Father,

Give me what I am due, Forgive me for my past, Create in me your plan so I may bring you Glory.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Human defiance only enhances your glory,for you use it as a weapon

O my people, listen to my instructions.Open your ears to what I am saying,2for I will speak to you in a parable.I will teach you hidden lessons from our past—3stories we have heard and known,stories our ancestors handed down to us.4We will not hide these truths from our children;

Lord God my Father,

Remove my nature, I am sinful and seek your peace. Open my spirit to your authority.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
