Meditate on verse 7.
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear the LORD and turn away from evil.
Pray Proverbs 3 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD, do not let and me forget Your teaching;
may our hearts keep Your commandments,
for length of days, years of life,
and peace they will add to us.
Do not let kindness and truth leave us;
bind them around our necks and write them
on the tablets of our hearts, so we will
find favor and good repute in the sight
of You and man. Help us trust You, LORD,
with all our hearts; do not let us lean
on our own understanding.
In all our ways, let us acknowledge You,
so You will make our paths straight.
Do not let us be wise in our own eyes; let us fear You and turn away from evil.
Let the fear of You, LORD, bring healing to our bodies and refreshment to our bones.
Let us honor You from our wealth and from the first of all our produce, so our barns will be filled with plenty and our vats overflow with new wine.
Do not let us reject Your discipline, LORD,
or loathe Your reproof, for You reprove those You love, even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.
LORD, bless us as we find wisdom and gain understanding.
May we profit from her more than
from silver, gold, and jewels. May we desire nothing
more than Your wisdom and understanding, God.
In Your wisdom are: long life, riches, honor,
pleasant ways, and paths of peace.
Let Your wisdom be a tree of life to us as we take hold of her; let us be happy as we hold her fast.
LORD, by wisdom, You founded the earth; by understanding, You established the heavens.
By Your knowledge, the deeps were broken up,
and the skies drip with dew. LORD, let us keep
sound wisdom and discretion; do not let them
vanish from our sight. Let them be life to our souls
and adornment to our necks. Let us walk
in our way securely; do not let our feet stumble.
When we lie down, do not let us be afraid;
let our sleep be sweet. Do not let us be afraid
of sudden fear nor of the onslaught
of the wicked when it comes.
LORD, You will be our confidence; You will keep our feet from being caught.
Let us not withhold good when it is in
our power to do it. Do not let us devise harm against
our neighbor. Let us not contend with others
without cause, if they have done us no harm.
Do not let us envy a violent man or choose any of his ways.
The devious are an abomination to You, LORD,
but You are intimate with the upright.
LORD, make us righteous!
You bless the dwelling of the righteous.
Please give us Your grace when we are afflicted
and make us wise, so we can inherit
honor rather than display dishonor.
Because of Your name, Jesus~”
