The heartfelt counsel of a friend is as sweet as perfume and incense.

When there is moral rot within a nation, its government topples easily. But wise and knowledgeable leaders bring stability.

When the godly are in authority, the people rejoice.But when the wicked are in power, they groan.

Lord God my Father,

I quiet my heart so I can hear you, protect my thoughts from the ways of the world and give me discernment of those around me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
