Proverbs 1 & 2

Lord Jesus, with your wisdom, you cried out to me. You spoke into my thoughts, and I saw my sin. I saw my foolishness, my selfishness, my course towards destruction. In your grace, you granted me repentance, and I turned at your reproof.

You poured out your spirit on me. You filled me with your word. I listened to you. You reached out to me, and you grabbed hold of my hand.

With joy and humility, I heeded your counsel. I saw my sin. I received your reproof and confessed my sin. I listened to you, and I was born again. I was forgiven, and my mind began to live renewed.

Now Lord, I dwell secure in you, and I am at peace, without fear of disaster. I receive your word day by day. I treasure your commandments. I am attentive to be led by your spirit into wisdom and understanding in each circumstance.

I call out to you for communion and leadership. You hear me, and you fill me with your presence. You fill my heart, oh Lord, and you are a pleasure to my soul.
