Episode 261: Proverbs 12

Today's prayer meditation is on Proverbs 12

Father God, I love learning, and I love the discipline that goes with it. I will not refuse your correction. I don't flaunt my knowledge.

I do not act as if I am important, but ordinary. I'm content to work for a living. I don't chase whims and fancies, but I keep working and there is always food on my table. A lazy life is empty, so I rise early and eager to start the day and get my work done. I find freedom in my work. 

My home will hold together. I talk sense and I am honored. My conversation keeps me out of trouble. Well-spoken words bring satisfaction and well-done work has its own reward. I survive misfortune because you are always with me, protecting and guiding me.

I am not headstrong, doing whatever I like, but I am willing to take advice. I do not have a short fuse, but quietly shrug off insults. My thinking makes for justice and my speech saves. My truthful witness clears the air. Lies are here today and gone tomorrow, but truth lasts forever. 

Worry weighs people down, so I try to speak cheerful words to lift them up. There is healing in my words. My root gives life and more life. Peace planning brings me joy. No evil can overwhelm me. I keep my word, and you love my company, Father. I bask in your delight. My life is rooted in you and I stand firm.  

So be it.

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
