Oh, God, let me not forget Your Word. Let me bind mercy and truth around my neck and write Your words on the tablet of my heart, so that I might find favor and high esteem in Your sight and in the sight of man. Let me delight in Your precepts and in Your statutes that length of days, long life, and peace will be added to me.
Help me, Lord, to trust in You with all my heart and not to lean on my own understanding, as You direct my paths. Help me not to be wise in my own eyes, but in the confidence that comes from following You. Help me to depart from evil and to honor You alone with my possessions. Thank You for Your provision; always ensuring I have exactly what I need for the moment. Help me to trust that You will always provide and will not forsake Your own inheritance.
Lord, when You chastise me, as a loving Father, bring back to my remembrance that You do it because You delight in me, just as Your Word says. Help me to remember that it is out of Your love that You correct and guide me.
Lord I thank You that You give wisdom freely to those who seek. I thank You that Your wisdom, understanding, and knowledge keep my feet from stumbling. I thank You for being my confidence and for keeping my foot from being caught. No wonder the author of Psalm 119:14 said, “I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies, as much as in all riches.” Truly nothing compares to You, Your might, and Your faithfulness, Lord.
Lord, through Your guidance and Your wisdom, let me leave a legacy of honor and glory to You. Bless my home and my family. Let my children seek You as they would seek a treasure. Help me to show them how to give when it is in their power to do so. Help them to be just.
Blessed are You, O Lord!
