Like a muddied spring or a polluted well are the righteous who give way to the wicked.

It is not good to eat too much honey, nor is it honorable to search out matters that are too deep.

A lying tongue hates those it hurts, and a flattering mouth works ruin.

Lord God my Father,

Protect my heart and thoughts, keep me from straying towards darkness. Help me to be reasonable with myself and not allow anything other than Peace to rest well with me. You are in control of all things, I don’t need to understand your plan, just follow your lead.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who with his own hand has fulfilled what he promised with his own mouth to my father David. 

Judge between your servants, condemning the guilty by bringing down on their heads what they have done, and vindicating the innocent by treating them in accordance with their innocence.

Forgive and act; deal with everyone according to all they do, since you know their hearts (for you alone know every human heart), 40so that they will fear you all the time they live in the land you gave our ancestors.

Lord God my Father,

Your plan is perfect and Glory shines from you. Bless and give me wisdom on how to think and act. Help me to do your will above all else. Forgive me when I put my desires first and bless the actions of my hands.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Amen

The one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper.

A sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he will not even bring it back to his mouth!

A person may think their own ways are right, but the Lord weighs the heart.

Lord God my Father,

Lord God, I cry out to you for your wisdom, your way. Keep me from filtering you through my desires. Help me to act on your desire above my own and not hesitate. Only your way it right, help me to only know your way.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Better a dry crust with peace and quiet than a house full of feasting, with strife.

The one who has knowledge uses words with restraint, and whoever has understanding is even-tempered.

To answer before listening— that is folly and shame.

Lord God my Father,

Bring Peace to all relationships in my life, help me to love louder than the hate and represent you well in all areas of my thoughts and actions. Allow your understanding to be known to me and give me discernment over all other. Help me to hear you.

Protect me and make me aware of Peace takers. Calm my lips and thoughts to keep your Peace where it belongs. Keep my focus ahead, discarding the darkness of the past.

In Jesus name I pray,
