The Pursuit of Wisdom Brings Security -- Praying for the children and their parents

Heavenly Father, I pray you bless this generation of children and their parents.
The book of Proverbs chapter 2 indicates change is available to all who desire a path that turns them from rebellion and foolishness and draws them closer to one another and to you and puts them on the PATHWAY TO TRUE WISDOM.
In Jesus mighty name, Amen.

Dear God,
Please make of my life what You would have it be.
Time and fate have twisted things.
I cannot straighten out alone.
Dear God,...
may I begin again.
My body
My mind
My spirit
My love
My hate
My pain
My sorrows
My joy
My questions
My fears
My hopes
My visions
I give them all to You.

Amen

(By Marianne Williamson)

 

The Pursuit of Wisdom Brings Security
Proverbs 2
1 My son, if you will receive my words
And treasure my commandments within you,
2 Make your ear attentive to wisdom,
Incline your heart to understanding;
3 For if you cry for discernment,
Lift your voice for understanding;
4 If you seek her as silver
And search for her as for hidden treasures;
5 Then you will discern the fear of the Lord
And discover the knowledge of God.

6 For the Lord gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
He is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
8 Guarding the paths of justice,
And He preserves the way of His godly ones.

9 Then you will discern righteousness and justice
And equity and every good course.
10 For wisdom will enter your heart
And knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
11 Discretion will guard you,
Understanding will watch over you,
12 To deliver you from the way of evil,
From the man who speaks perverse things;
13 From those who leave the paths of uprightness
To walk in the ways of darkness;
14 Who delight in doing evil
And rejoice in the perversity of evil;
15 Whose paths are crooked,
And who are devious in their ways;
16 To deliver you from the strange woman,
From the adulteress who flatters with her words;
17 That leaves the companion of her youth
And forgets the covenant of her God;
18 For her house sinks down to death
And her tracks lead to the dead;
19 None who go to her return again,
Nor do they reach the paths of life.
20 So you will walk in the way of good men
And keep to the paths of the righteous.

21 For the upright will live in the land
And the blameless will remain in it;
22 But the wicked will be cut off from the land
And the treacherous will be uprooted from it.
