Episode 278: Proverbs 29

Today's Prayer Meditation is on Proverbs 29

I am not stubborn, but gratefully accept correction. 
I flourish and others rejoice.
I love wisdom, and I know that makes you happy, Father. 
I do not associate with the wicked or exchange my wealth for disgrace.
I value justice and I am a great strength and example to others. I do not tear down what is right by selling my influence for money.
I do not seek flattery, I know it can often be used as a trap to hide ulterior motives. I do not let flatterers take advantage of me. 

The wicked always have a trap laid for others, but I escape as I sing and shout in glorious triumph to you, Father.

I pour myself out for the poor, while the ungodly make no attempt to understand or help those in need.

I am humble and love to pursue peace. I recognize fools by the way they give full vent to their rage and let their words fly. There is no use arguing with a fool. I can't get a word in with all of his ranting and raving. There is no settling the argument in a calm way. So I just bite my tongue and hold back all that I could say.

I esteem those with integrity and those who are holy. I do not listen to false accusations or associate with scoundrels.

I do not consider myself better than those who are needy. There is one thing in common between them and their oppressors -- God made them both.  I demonstrate justice for the poor.

I do not avoid experiencing your corrections and rebukes, I know they will make me wise. If I was left to my own ways, I would bring disgrace to you Father. 

When the wicked are in power, lawlessness abounds. But I am patient, Father. I know that one day I will watch in triumph as their strongholds topple. I hate injustice. But you are the judge and jury. Justice comes from you. 

I don't hesitate to discipline children. I know that one day, they will change and bring me great delight.

Father, I know where there is no clear vision, people cast off restraint and quickly wander astray. So I heed your wise instructions, and follow the revelation of your Word, and heaven's bliss fills my soul.

I pay attention to your every word, Father. I am not impetuous and do not speak without thinking first. I say only what I hear you say and do only what I see you do.

The source of strife is found in an angry heart. So purify my heart, Father. Thank you for giving me your peace. A peace that passes all understanding, and keeps me from anger. 

I do not lift myself up with pride but I am meek and humble in spirit.
Fear and intimidation is a trap that would hold me back. So I place my confidence in you, Father, and you seat me in the heavenly places. 

So be it. 

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
