Proverbs 30

v. 8-9 Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread.  Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, "Who is the Lord?" Or I may become poor and steal and so dishonor the name of my God.

Father, that's a pretty good prayer right there.  Not much I want to add to that other than to say thank you for being a good God who provides so abundantly.  Give me a heart of gratitude.  Amen.

Proverbs 29

v.7 The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern.

Lord Jesus, give me a heart for all your people.  Give me a heart that is generous and concerned for those who have less.  Help me to see outside of myself in all I do, to care for the downtrodden and broken.  Amen.

Proverbs 28

v. 1, 18 The wicked flee though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.
The one whose walk is blameless is kept safe, but the one whose ways are perverse will fall into the pit.

Father, I love you.  I need you to focus me on you, on righteousness and on holiness.  Keep my walk blameless.  Thank you Jesus for being blameless for me.  I can't do it -- I so desperately need you.  Let me feel the warmth of your love.  Make me bold as a lion because of your great love and care for me.  Amen.
