If you search for good, you will find favor;
but if you search for evil, it will find you!
—Proverbs 11:27 (NLT)
Good and Gracious Father,
Help me search for that which is good—as You unfold this day before me—so that evil will not find me, but I will experience favor wherever You lead.
Remind me that there is good to be found all around me—when I search for it! Help me to look for that good in every person I encounter and in each circumstance that I face.
Save me from every temptation to search for evil—and don’t let me walk away from Your sheltering protection. For I know that I will never find evil before it finds me—because it watches for every opportunity of catching me unprotected, that it might destroy me.
In everything, help me keep my eyes fixed on You—the Author of all things good—so that all my thoughts, words and actions will be filled with Your goodness and love, and I would bring honor to You.
Help me search for that which is good—as You unfold this day before me—so that evil will not find me, but I will experience favor wherever You lead.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
