Proverbs 16

“One who pays attention to the Word will find good, and blessed is one who trusts in the Lord.”  Proverbs 16:20, (NASV)
 
Oh Lord, may my children commit their plans to You. Help them find success for You work all things out to Your end. I pray they will not be prideful but fear You. In turn, cover them by Your atoning love and faithfulness. May they be pleasing unto You, oh God, even living peacefully among their enemies. Determine their steps and plot their course as You fill their lips with justice and truth. In the same way, I pray You will establish them through righteousness. Shine Your favor upon them, oh God, blessing them with life and wisdom. Oh Lord, may they choose understanding over silver and wisdom over gold, avoiding evil and guarding their ways. Set them upon the highway of uprightness while You keep them from pride and a haughty spirit. Oh Father, I plead they will prosper from wise council and be blessed through their trust in You. Yet give them understanding as their fountain of life, wise words to guide their mouths, and lips which promote instruction. IN the same way, make their words pleasant as a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones as You protect them from scoundrels, perverse men, gossips, and violent people. OH Lord, may You bless the length of their days with a crown of honor through righteousness, patience, and self-control, casting every decision before You.
