By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches and honor and life.
Proverbs 22:4

Lord of heaven and earth, the sea and everything in them, I humbly come to Your throne of grace and seek Your kingdom and righteousness first. Your Name is good, and I beseech Your favor for my day’s journey. May Your will be done in me and my loved ones as in heaven. May You alone be glorified in every word and deed. Grant us the prudence that foresees evil and hides us beneath the shadow of Your Wing. Guard our souls from the ways of the perverse; may wisdom direct our hearts to what is right and pure in Your sight. Your word says that those who sow iniquity will reap sorrow. Lord, may the fruit of my lips sow righteousness. Forgive my trespasses known and unknown, give me a pure heart and grace my lips, and your peace that surpasses all understanding rule and reign in my heart; for out the heart the mouth speaks. I forgive those who wronged me the same way You have forgiven me; may no bitter root or resentment take hold of my heart and mind. Heavenly Father, in the Name of Jesus, may no weapon be formed against me, my loved ones, and Jerusalem prosper, but may Your steadfast love and faithfulness fight on our behalf. Keep us from the ways of an angry person, for with them, we might learn their ways and be led astray. Lord, silence the scoffer amongst us and those who rise against us in judgment. May their judgments be proved within themselves as they judge according to their misgivings. Lord, anoint and appoint us to do Your will. I pray for Your divine direction, protection, provisions, and intervention on my behalf and my loved ones in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, Your Son. For Yours is the Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory forever, amen.
