Those who trust in themselves are fools,
but those who walk in wisdom are kept safe.
—Proverbs 28:26 (NIV)
Heavenly Father,
Save me from the foolishness of trusting in myself and help me to walk as a wise man—with my eyes fixed on You and with a heart that beats only after Your own heart!
Don’t allow me to start
believing that my thoughts are necessarily wise just because I think them, or
that my own strength and power is sufficient to carry me, or that my own
actions could ever be enough to justify me before You.
Keep me ever close to
You—and help me to remember that the times that I am most likely to be deceived
by the enemy are those times when I have foolishly wandered from Your Holy
Presence.
Make me wise enough to put
all my trust in You—in Your power at work in me, in Your promises given to me,
and in Your unfailing love for me—the One who is faithful to keep safe all
those who wisely humble themselves and step forward in faith, to walk with the
One who is mighty to save!
Save me from the foolishness of trusting in myself and help me to walk as a wise man—with my eyes fixed on You and with a heart that beats only after Your own heart!
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
