Thank God for Hearing Prayers
Backgrounder on Proverbs 14-17:
Nowhere is wisdom more essential
than in community relationships.
A heart attitude controlled by
the fear of the Lord is the key to
proper response towards others.
To promote peace, justice and
prosperity with others, commit to
godliness, in thoughts & motives,
as well as tongue and temper.
Lord, U Hear Prayers of Righteous:
The Lord detest the sacrifice of
the wicked, but the prayer of the
upright Pleases Him (Prov 15:8).
… For the happy heart,
life is a Continual Feast (v15).
Plans fail for lack of counsel, but
with advisors they Succeed (v22)
Father, I am grateful that You see
me as righteous just because
of my relationship with Jesus.
But I know You also want me to
choose to live righteously as well.
Grant that my thoughts, words
and actions will always be pleasing
in Your sight so that my prayers
will be pleasing to Your ears.
And enable me every day to do
what’s right in your sight. Amen.
Lord, help me to have a happy
heart and remove the anxiety that
sometimes weigh my heart down.
Keep my heart from growing proud;
but instead give me a pure heart
– a heart that is pleasing to You.
And help me hide Your Word
in my heart so that I can walk
in Your Ways and enjoy a life
that is a Continual Feast. Amen.
Lord, give me discernment to
know what advice is godly advice;
then help me make good decision.
I want to be known as a godly
person who knows right from
wrong and can give others solid
godly guidance. And as I mature
and grow older, help me to be
a godly advisor who can offer
wise counsel to others. Amen.
