Proverbs 3; Psalm 23

Lord God, I love your word, and I keep it in front of my eyes. My life prospers because of your living word filling my thoughts, and preserving my new heart. I revel in your mercy and truth. Without your mercy and truth, I would be lost.

I trust in you, Lord, with all my heart. I do not lean on my own understanding, but in everything I do, I acknowledge you, and you direct my path.

I fear you, Father, and that is the start of my wisdom. I am filled by your Holy Spirit and commune with you in spirit and in truth constantly, and that keeps me wise.

Your wisdom is better than gold or silver, more precious than rubies. It adds length to my days. Riches and honor fill my life, and I live in pleasantness and peace.

Your divine wisdom and discretion fill me and lead me. They are life and grace in me.

I walk through this life in safety, and my foot does not stumble. I lie down, and I am not afraid. My sleep is sweet.

Goodness and mercy follow me all the days of my life, and I dwell with you, my Lord, forever!
