A Prayer based on Proverbs 6

Guard my heart from unhealthy partnerships.  Give me wisdom about dealing with strangers. 
Give me quick insights.  Help me be very careful about “going out on a limb” for anybody.

Give me courage to make quick, good decisions.  Help me to know when to “cut bait” and run. 
Do not allow me to be caught in wicked traps. 

Let me never go around long-faced and desperate. 
Do not allow me to put off until tomorrow what I can do today.

Help me to be quick to run from those who would use me for their own gain. 
Let me fly quickly from their trap.

Give me wisdom to learn wisdom from people, situations, and nature. 
Give me a natural instinct to know what to do in management and leadership situations.

In the good times, help me to always stockpile for the bad.

Dear Savior and friend, keep me from an idle mind.

Give me the courage to face each day with enthusiasm and excitement. 
Help me seize every opportunity.  When things are  slow, teach me to be preparing for any eventuality.

Give me prudence, and understanding so that I will never be among the dirt-poor, or have poverty among my off-springs.

Guard my mind from listening to people who speak with a forked tongue.

Make me a student of body language. 
Help me  know when people are saying one thing and acting out another with their body.

Remind me that the mind of man is always cooking up nasty things and troubling circumstances. 
Help me see the catastrophe that is lurking behind their lurid dreams.

Let me not be ruined beyond repair.

Help me remember the things you hate:

1.      Over-confidence,

2.      Untruthfulness,

3.      Killing,

4.      Plotting -Planning evil,

5.      Monkey Business,

6.      Fabrication - Deception,

7.      And Dissension.

Make me a good friend to many people. 

Let me never forget the wise counsel of my mother. 
Let me wear her counsel like an ankle bracelet, or a  scarf around my neck,

 Let me be guided by the purity of her words. 
When I am resting and off my guard, let her counsel guard me. 
Remind me of her counsel when I awake in the morning. 
Her sound advice and good teaching is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. 
The beauty of her face keeps me morally disciplined.

Remembering my mom repels me from reckless women.  Rather than lusting after a good looking woman and being caught in her snare, let me behold the beauty of my mother.

Give me wisdom to never buy sexual favors or be involved with a reckless woman. 
Her desire is a death wish for me.

Let me never forget the admonishment of the Proverb:  “Can a man build a fire in his lap and not burn his pants?”  Neither “Can he walk barefoot on hot coals and not get blister.”

Sex outside of marriage is a recipe for failure.  If I go there I will pay dearly.  I will have no excuses.  Just because I’m hungry is no excuse to steal, just because I want sex is no reason to satisfy my desire with a wicked woman.  The payback on this behavior will be seven times.

Adultery is a brainless act, soul-destroying, self-destructive: 
Guard my body, mind, soul and spirit from it destruction.

Do not allow me to carry around the black eye of the deception of the wife of my youth. 
Guard my heart and my reputation. 
Let me never be caught in the rage of another man because I have philandered around with his wife.

Remind me that I can never repay the deed, or pay enough to over-come the evil that my lust can create.
