The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways, but the folly of fools is deception.

The simple believe anything, but the prudent give thought to their steps.

Whoever fears the Lord has a secure fortress, and for their children it will be a refuge.

Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people.

A person finds joy in giving an apt reply— and how good is a timely word!

Lord God my Father,

Your wisdom is life to me. Open my heart and show me where I stray. Keep me close and allow me to know your way. Keep me cheerful in your Truth and allow me to bring light to the darkness with kind words.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amenn

What the wicked dread will overtake them; what the righteous desire will be granted.

The fear of the Lord adds length to life, but the years of the wicked are cut short.

The righteous person is rescued from trouble, and it falls on the wicked instead.

The Lord detests those whose hearts are perverse, but he delights in those whose ways are blameless.

Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid.

Fools show their annoyance at once, but the prudent overlook an insult.

Lord God my Father,

Look into me and expose any wicked in me so I may address it and let you remove it. Allow me to witness well your way and live in a most delightful way.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” and to insight, “You are my relative.”

I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in his presence, 31rejoicing in his whole world and delighting in mankind.

rebuke the wise and they will love you. 9Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still; teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.

Lord God my Father,

Allow your Peace to rest on me so your wisdom can fall on me well. Help me to allow your delight into my heart and guide me. I want to know where I need to grow.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you. 7The beginning of wisdom is his: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. 8Cherish her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you. 9She will give you a garland to grace your head and present you with a glorious crown.”

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. 24Keep your mouth free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lips. 25Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you.

Lord God m Father,

Allow me to hear your wisdom and change my way. Keep me in your Truth and warn me of evil on my path. Allow me to live in your Peace and know when it is under attack so I may protect it.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

For the upright will live in the land, and the blameless will remain in it; 22but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the unfaithful will be torn from it.

Do not say to your neighbor, “Come back tomorrow and I’ll give it to you”— when you already have it with you.

Lord God my Father,

Cause me to be upright and honest in my dealings. Help me to not put off what should be done.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Lord God my Father,

Your design for Love is perfect. Help me to follow your desire as I love my wife, family and friends so that your design is noticed.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours?”

God said to Solomon, “Since this is your heart’s desire and you have not asked for wealth, possessions or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, and since you have not asked for a long life but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you king, 12therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given you. And I will also give you wealth, possessions and honor, such as no king who was before you ever had and none after you will have.”

Praise be to the Lord God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.

Lord God my Father,

Know my heart and restore it to your design. Make me aware when I am more important than you in my thoughts. Grant me a Peace that overwhelms the struggles around me and give me a heart that longs for your way.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to govern this great people of yours?”

Then the king gave his ruling: “Give the living baby to the first woman. Do not kill him; she is his mother.”

28When all Israel heard the verdict the king had given, they held the king in awe, because they saw that he had wisdom from God to administer justice.

Lord God my Father,

Own my spirit and give me discernment to speak only when you inspire. Keep me quiet and calm in my thoughts and allow your wisdom to guide me in all relationships.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

I run in the path of your commands, for you have broadened my understanding.

Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight.

It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees.

Great peace have those who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble.

May my tongue sing of your word, for all your commands are righteous.

Lord God my Father,

I chase after you and you bring me my delight. You call me worthy, so I am. Allow your Peace to rest on me and protect me from attack. Help me to keep your word on my heart and my lips at all times.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“As surely as the Lord lives, who has delivered me out of every trouble, 30I will surely carry out this very day what I swore to you by the Lord, the God of Israel:

The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; 24though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand.

As for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more. 15My mouth will tell of your righteous deeds, of your saving acts all day long—

Lord God my Father,

You have delivered me to today, I know you will carry me through my trials. Lord give me the desire to do you will today with your Peace as my strength and help me to praise you in all things at all times.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
