A Proverb a Day

I was recently purging my files (ahhhh — hanging file folders and electronic subdirectories too!) and I read through a file that I just call, “Practical Helps.”

In it, I found a document that reminded me of a time in my Christian walk when a friend recommended that I read one Proverb a day for a month and then PRAY through that Proverb.

It was an excellent exercise that I have since repeated and I encourage you to consider doing so too! 🙂

Here are some examples from my notes:

Proverbs 22: Lord, please help me to be humble and fear you. Please help me to have a pure heart and gracious speech. Please change me so I am not easily angered. May I be skilled in my work for you.

Proverbs 5: Dear God, please do not let me die for lack of discipline; please keep me from being led astray by my own great folly.

Proverbs 15: Please, Lord, do not allow me to spurn your discipline. Please, God, make me to heed correction and thus, show prudence.

Joy to you, my friends!

Love,
Tara B.
