Proverbs 6

“My son, comply with the commandment of Your father, and do not ignore the teaching of your mother; Bind them continually on Your heart; tie them around your neck. When you walk, they will guide you; when you sleep, they will watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk to you.” Proverbs 6:20-22, (NASV)
           
Oh Lord, help my children exercise wisdom whether to pledge or secure a debt for another. Protect them from those unwilling to honor their promises. Yet when my children are betrayed, may they humble themselves and exercise wisdom to free themselves from their neighbor’s grasps, wisely considering their ways. Help them not fall prey to laziness or sluggardness lest poverty come upon them. Yet keep them far from scoundrels and villains who plot evil and stir up dissention. Oh Father, may they not engage in what You despise. From pride, the shedding of innocent blood, concocting of evil plans along with eagerness to do evil, testifying falsely, and causing dissention, let them have no part. In turn, may they keep Your commands and forsake not Your teachings, binding them around their hearts and fastening them around their necks. When my children walk, may Your commandments guide them. When they sleep, let Your precepts watch over them. Even when they wake, may Your teachings speak to them. May Your Word be a lamp to their feet, lighting their paths and bringing them life. OOH Lord, do not let them be led astray or seduced by adulterous relationships but keep them faithful to their spouses with blessings of good judgement.
