“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the holy One is understanding.” Proverbs 9:10, (NASV) Help my children reside in the house which wisdom built, leaving behind sinful ways so they may walk in Your understanding. Oh Lord, instruct them deeper in Your wisdom so they may continue to grow in the fear and understanding of You. In turn, lengthen their days, I plead, while You let wisdom reward their lives. Oh God, bless my children with good judgement and keep them away from the destructive path of folly.

“For one who finds me finds life, and obtains favor from the Lord.” Proverbs 8:35, (NASV) Let my children hear wisdom’s call and the voice of understanding. In turn, help them heed prudence and wisdom, speaking only words which are right, true, and just. I pray they will choose Your instruction and knowledge over silver and gold. Likewise, may they also treasure wisdom above jewels, desiring it above all other things. Bless them, oh God, with knowledge and discretion mixed with wisdom and prudence. Yet, let them loathe evil, pride, arrogance, wicked behavior, and perverse speech. Instead, grant them council and sound judgement with wisdom and power. Oh Lord, when they seek You, let them find You. With Your riches and honor, bless them with enduring wealth and righteousness for Your fruit is finer than gold and yields more than silver. I plead with You, oh Lord, may they walk in the way of righteousness along paths of justice. Bestow upon my children wealth, oh God, and make their treasuries full. Oh Lord, fashion and appoint my children after You, who made the heavens, secured the fountains of the deep, and set the boundaries between the land and sea, marking out the foundations of the earth. Fill them with delight every day and let them rejoice in Your presence. Yet help them keep Your ways and listen to Your instructions so they may receive Your blessings of wisdom. In the same way, may my children wait daily at Your door and watch for You so they may find life and receive favor.  “Say to wisdom, ‘You are my sister,’ and call understanding your intimate friend.” Proverbs 7:4, (NASV) Oh Lord, keep Your commandments stored in my children’s hearts so they may live by Your ways. May they guard Your teachings as the apple of their eye, writing them on their hearts and binding them on their fingers. In the same way, make wisdom and understanding a close relative, keeping them away from lust, seduction, and adultery. Ground them deep in good judgement while You grant them wisdom and strength to flee temptation. Yet do not let them stray or turn aside so they do not descend to death.  |
