“If you play the fool and exalt yourself, or if you plan evil, clap your hand over your mouth! 33For as churning cream produces butter, and as twisting the nose produces blood, so stirring up anger produces strife.”

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. 31Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

Lord God my Father,

Protect me from falling in my thoughts and actions. Keep me near so I am under your direction at all times. Restore me to your design for me and give me strength to stay on your task. Thank you for my wife who carries you with her and bless our lives together, may we encourage our children to seek you as well.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

As Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and his heart was not fully devoted to the Lord his God, as the heart of David his father had been.

The Lord became angry with Solomon because his heart had turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice.

King Solomon was greater in riches and wisdom than all the other kings of the earth. 

Lord God my Father,

Protect my heart from deceit and keep me focused on your Truth only. Keep me from growing arrogant and turning from you. Bless me with a spirit that shares you well.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

God created mankind upright, but they have gone in search of many schemes.”

The quiet words of the wise are more to be heeded than the shouts of a ruler of fools. 18Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.

For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.

Lord God my Father,

Help me to live by your design and keep me in search of you alone. Allow your peace to bring a stillness that I can hear you well with. Keep me from acting out in a way that brings judgement.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return

So, I saw that there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work, because that is their lot. For who can bring them to see what will happen after them?

God is in heaven, and you are on earth, so let your words be few.

3A dream comes when there are many cares, and many words mark the speech of a fool.

The more the words, the less the meaning, and how does that profit anyone?

Lord God my Father,

I am no more special than anyone else yet you made me unique. Help me to use my gifts for your glory. Thank you for today’s task and help me to see the meaning of it. Keep me still so I can hear your thoughts above my own.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Better is open rebuke than hidden love.

As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart.

The one whose walk is blameless is kept safe, but the one whose ways are perverse will fall into the pit.

When the wicked rise to power, people go into hiding; but when the wicked perish, the righteous thrive.

Pride brings a person low, but the lowly in spirit gain honor.

Lord God my Father,

Open my heart and allow your love to pass through me and bring peace. Help to live your will alone and be blameless. Protect me from the evil desires of my sin nature and help me to rely on you for all things.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Remove the dross from the silver, and a silversmith can produce a vessel; 5remove wicked officials from the king’s presence, and his throne will be established through righteousness.

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

Enemies disguise themselves with their lips, but in their hearts they harbor deceit.

Lord God my Father,

Remove my worthless ways and use me to carry your message. Keep me in check so I don’t stray from you desire. Protect me from those who wish to harm me. Provide for me today’s needs.

In Jesus name i pray,

Amen

The Lord said to him: “I have heard the prayer and plea you have made before me; I have consecrated this temple, which you have built, by putting my Name there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.

Lord God my Father,

I pray you give me the wisdom and strength to restore this temple you have blessed me with, to restore it to a holy state, pleasing to you. Remove my will and allow your will to work in me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.

In Jesus name I pray,

“Because the Lord loves his people, he has made you their king.”

12And Hiram added:

“Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth! He has given King David a wise son, endowed with intelligence and discernment, who will build a temple for the Lord and a palace for himself.

Lord God my Father,

Thank you for your unconditional love and support and for caring deeply about me. You are worthy of my constant praise, keep me close and protect me from darkness, allow your light to reach deep in me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
