Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.

Pay attention and turn your ear to the sayings of the wise; apply your heart to what I teach,

The wise prevail through great power, and those who have knowledge muster their strength.

Put your outdoor work in order and get your fields ready; after that, build your house.

Lord God my Father,

Guide me and show me the way to find you. Help me to listen for your desire before mine. Give me wisdom so your peace can be my guide. Put my thoughts in order so my actions are pleasing to you alone.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
