Proverbs 2: 1-9
My child, listen to Me, ... tune your ears ... cry out ...search ...Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord, and you will gain knowledge of God.
For the Lord grants wisdom! From His mouth come knowledge and understanding. He grants a treasure of good sense to the godly. He is their shield, protecting those who walk with integrity. He guards the paths of justice and protects those who are faithful to Him.
Then you will understand what is right, just and fair, and you will know how to find the right course of action every time.
O my Father, I have listened, I have tuned my ears to hear, I have and am crying out to You and searching diligently. And I have gained an understanding of what it means to fear the Lord, to appreciate the magnitude of Your power and righteousness and Your sovereign authority over all You have made.
Now, Father, grant me the wisdom to apply the knowledge and understanding You have granted me to learn, to choose the right course of action to take to resolve the issues that persist in my relationships. Be my Shield, to protect me as I walk in integrity. Guard my path as I seek to be faithful to You in my attitudes, words and actions.
Help me to understand what is right, just and fair in my communications with my loved ones and with others, so that I will take the right course of action and words every time to bless them and glorify You.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
