Praying Proverbs 1: Do Not Consent to Sin

Loving God,

Teach me to walk in the ways of righteousness and to stand firm against the wicked. When sinners approach me, "keep [my] foot from their paths, for their feet run to evil, and they hurry to shed blood." You teach that the consequence of wickedness and greed is pain; those who rob eventually only rob themselves, and those who would ambush another ambush most fully themselves. Grant me wisdom to see that my viciousness and deviousness unlimately harms me more than anyone else. Help me to be patient and open and true, a faithful servant to you.

Amen
