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

Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise.

There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the Lord.

The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the Lord.

Lord God my Father,

Open my heart to hear you and give me courage to follow your desire. Give me your plan and cause me to follow you and teach me how to allow you to fight for me.

In Jesus name I pray,

To humans belong the plans of the heart, but from the Lord comes the proper answer of the tongue.

2All a person’s ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the Lord.

3Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.

4The Lord works out everything to its proper end— even the wicked for a day of disaster.

Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam; so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out.

The human spirit can endure in sickness, but a crushed spirit who can bear?

Lord God my Father,

Your way leads to a Peace I cannot understand. Your way is delightful and good. Help me to listen to your wisdom and bring silence to my thoughts. Your way is perfect no matter what I think. Thank you for being so close and allowing me to know you.

in Jesus name I pray,

Amen

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
