Proverbs 10

v. 12 Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs.

Father, thank you for your love.  Thank you for making a way for us that would cover our many wrongs -- my many wrongs.  I am sorry.  I need you and love you.  Fill my heart, that it would pour out your love onto those around me.  I fail to show love so often.  I fail to love.  Help me to love.  Amen.

Proverbs 9

v. 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

Lord, Father, Jesus, Savior, I worship you.  Thank you for your kind, wise heart.  Thank you for giving us access to your thoughts as you love and care for your creation.  Make my heart wise.  Help me to know you.  I need you to reign in me.  Amen.

Proverbs 8

v. 11 for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her.

Lord, I want to live a life of wisdom.  Help me live wisely.  Help me lead others to live wisely as well.  Thank you for your grace and mercy, and for making your wisdom known to us.  You alone are Most High God, Amen.

Proverbs 7

v. 22  All at once he followed her like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer stepping into a noose.

Father, lead me not into temptation.  Lead us not into temptation.  Teach me to guard my heart, and help me to help other men guard their hearts as well.  Let all that goes into and out from my heart bring you honor and glory.  Amen.
