Lord, 

Thank you for the practical wisdom in your Proverbs. Thank you for numerous situations. May my children read and know this wisdom early in life. May they heed your words in their youth so that they may support its wisdom in their adulthood. 

Thank you, Lord, that these words guided me, and still guide me. Open the eyes of my heart to see where I need more wisdom. Open the eyes of my heart to see where I need direction.

Lord, your wisdom is sweet and perfect. The wisdom of the world is ever changing and fickle. Help me to steer clear of it so that I may not become entangled in it like a trap. I trust in you and you alone, Father. You are the God of the universe. Your wisdom is irrefutable. 

Amen
