Proverbs 4 : 1-10

   
1 Hear, ye children,
the instruction of a father,
and attend to know understanding.
2 For I give you good doctrine,
forsake ye not my law.
3 For I was my father's son,
tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
4 He taught me also,
and said unto me,
Let thine heart retain my words:
keep my commandments,
and live.
5 Get wisdom,
get understanding: forget it not;
neither decline from the words of my mouth.
6 Forsake her not,
and she shall preserve thee:
love her, and she shall keep thee.
7 Wisdom is the principal thing;
therefore get wisdom:
and with all thy getting get understanding.
8 Exalt her,
and she shall promote thee:
she shall bring thee to honour,
when thou dost embrace her.
9 She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace:
a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
10 Hear, O my son,
and receive my sayings;
and the years of thy life shall be many.




Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We thank you for your Word,
which is light and strength to us.
We thank you for all you give us.
We thank you that we may be counted 

among the simple-hearted,
among the children.
We do not want to be anything great in the world.
We want only to be with you as your children,
helpless little children,
watched over by you,
the Creator and Father of all.
Grant us your blessing.
Help us in all that is good and right,
also in our daily work,
so that we can be your children 

and do what you have commanded.
May your name be honored at all times,
your kingdom come,
and your will be done on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us the wrong we have done 

as we forgive those who have wronged us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For yours is the kingdom,
the power,
and the glory for ever and ever.



In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen
