Episode 252: Proverbs 3

Today's prayer meditation is on Proverbs 3

Father God, I will not forget what wisdom has taught me. I will take your commands to heart, so that I can live a long life of peace and prosperity. 

Love and faithfulness will never leave me. I will tie them around my neck and write them on the tablet of my heart. I win favor and a good reputation for living well in your eyes and in the eyes of people. 

I will trust you, Father, with all of my heart. I don't lean on my own understanding, but listen for your voice in everything I do and everywhere I go. I submit myself to you, and you make my path straight in front of me. I don't assume that I know it all. I run from evil and I run to you, Father. My body glows with health and my very bones vibrate with life. 

I honor you, Father, with everything you have given me. I give you the first and the best. You make my barns burst with harvest and my wine vats overflow. 

I will never resent your discipline or sulk under your loving correction. You correct me because you love me and delight in me. You want only the best for me. 

I am blessed because I have made wisdom and understanding my friends. They are worth far more than money in the bank. Their friendship is better than a big salary. Their value exceeds all the trappings of wealth. Nothing else I could wish for holds a candle to them.

With one hand, wisdom gives me long life, with the other, she gives me riches and honor. Her ways are pleasant and all of her paths are peaceful. She is the Tree of Life to me. I embrace wisdom and hold her tight, and I am blessed.

Father, you formed the earth with wisdom and you raised the sky with understanding. I guard clear thinking and common sense with my life, and don't lose sight of them for even a minute. They are life to me. With them, I travel safely and do not get tired or stumble. I am not afraid when I lie down, and I enjoy sweet sleep each night. 

I do not panic over alarms or surprises, or predictions about doomsday being just around the corner. Because you are here with me, Father. You keep me safe and sound.

I never walk away from someone who deserves help. I know that in that moment, I am your hands. I don't tell my neighbor, "Maybe some other time" or "Try me tomorrow," when I have the ability to help today. I do not try to take advantage of my neighbor.

I do not walk around with a chip on my shoulder looking for a fight. I don't try to shoulder my way through life like a bully. I know you cannot stand twisted souls. But you taken me into your confidence because I live an upright life.

You bless my home. You are always here to help. And you reward my wise living with honor.

So be it.

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
