Episode 271: Proverbs 22

Today's Prayer Meditation is on Proverbs 22

Father, I desire a good name more than great riches, and a beautiful reputation more than a huge investment portfolio. You made us all, Father God, the rich and the poor.

I use wisdom and insight from Holy Spirit know when danger is coming so I can be prepared for it. I do not rush blindly forward or suffer the consequences of rash action.

I lay my life down in tender surrender before you, Father, and you pour your favor over me with abundant life, prosperity and honor as a reward. 

I stay away from those who live twisted and perverted lives. They are surrounded by demonic influence. I preserve my life by staying far from them. 

I dedicate my children to you, Father, and point them in the way they should go. I know that the values I teach them will be with them for life, and they will not turn from them.

I have learned to buy only what I can afford. If I borrow money with interest, I will end up serving the interests of my creditors. The rich rule over the poor and the borrower is slave to the lender. 

I am careful what I sow. Just as your Word is a seed, so is sin. And the harvest that sin brings is trouble and calamity. An investment in sins pays a full return.

I know that when I am generous I am enriched with blessings in return.

I don't entertain troublemakers. When I say goodbye to them, I say goodbye to the quarrels, strife, tension and arguments they bring. A troublemaker traffics in shame. 

I love a pure heart and speak with grace born out of your love for me, Father. 

You passionately watch over your deep reservoir of revelation-knowledge, and you frustrate the words of the unfaithful. Their lies are designed to pervert the truth.

The lazy always have an excuse for not working. But I love to work as a service to you. The way of the world is rebellion, but your discipline drives it far away. There are no shortcuts to wealth. Those who would exploit the poor or bribe the rich in an effort to become wealthy, will find themselves in poverty instead. 

I listen carefully and open my heart. I drink in the wise revelation that you impart. I know that I become winsome and wise when I treasure the beauty of your words, Father. And I am always prepared to share them at the appropriate time. 

My living hope is found in you alone, for you are the only one who is always true.
I pay attention to these excellent sayings, and within your words I discover true and reliable revelation. They give me serenity so that I can reveal the truth of your Word wherever you send me, Father. 

I do not exploit the poor or crush the weak. I know that you will take up their case, Father, and humiliate whoever tries to humiliate them. 

I walk away from the hot-tempered, and do not associate with those who are easily angered. I know that it would rub off on me, and I would become bad-tempered just as they are. 

I do not guarantee loans for others, or promise to be responsible for someone else's debts. I do not move boundaries set by previous generations just to benefit myself. 

I am uniquely gifted in my work, and my diligence brings me honor and promotion. I will not be held back. In fact, I will stand before kings.

So be it!

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
