Proverbs 10

“When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more, but the righteous has an everlasting foundation.” Proverbs 10:25, (NASV)
 
Oh Lord, help me know the joy which wise children bring their mothers and fathers. I plead my children will not let foolishness overtake them with ill-gotten gain. But may they be blessed with crowns of righteousness while their memories be made sweet and lasting through diligent and wise work. Oh Lord, make their hearts wise, ready to receive command so disaster may be averted. Create them to be children of integrity, I plead, who are devoid of chatter and grounded in their steps. May You make their mouths fountains of life without hatred or violence but with love which covers all things. Dear Lord, store wisdom in their hearts, and let it overflow with good judgement as choice silver and nourishment. In the same way, teach them to hold their tongues and to heed discipline. Yet bless my children and fulfill their righteous desires, oh God, bringing them wealth and understanding which delights in wisdom. Oh Lord, help my children forever stand firm through the storms, granting them joy with You as their refuge and never being uprooted. With fitting and appropriate words, may wisdom flow from my children’s mouths, I pray.
