Meditate on verse 2.

Make your ear attentive to wisdom;

incline your heart to understanding.

Pray Proverbs 2 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, let ______ and me receive Your Words

 and treasure Your commandments within us. 

Make our ears attentive to wisdom;

 incline our hearts to understanding. 

May we cry for discernment

and lift our voices for understanding;

 let us seek her as silver and search for her

 as for hidden treasures, so we will discern

 the fear of You, LORD, and

discover Your knowledge, God.

 For LORD, You give wisdom; from

Your mouth come knowledge and understanding.

 You store up sound wisdom for the upright;

 You are a shield to those who walk in integrity.

 You guard the paths of justice,

 and You preserve the way of Your Godly ones.

 Make us Your Godly ones!

Let us discern righteousness and justice

and equity and every good course.

 Let wisdom enter our hearts and knowledge

 be pleasant to our souls. 

Let discretion guard us,

and understanding watch over us.

LORD, deliver us from the way of evil,

 from the man who speaks perverse things,

 from those who leave the paths of uprightness

to walk in the ways of darkness.

 Deliver us from those who delight in doing evil,

who rejoice in the perversity of evil. 

Deliver us from those whose paths are crooked

and who are devious in their ways.

 Deliver us from strange women, from the adulteress

who flatters with her words, who leaves the

companion of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God. 

LORD, may we always remember Your covenant,

so our homes will not sink down to death,

 and our tracks will not lead to the dead.

 We want to reach the paths of life!

 Let us walk in the way of good men

 and keep to the paths of the righteous,

 for the upright will live in the land,

 and the blameless will remain in it.

 LORD, cut off the wicked from the land

and uproot the treacherous.

For the sake of Your name, Jesus~”
