Colossians 4:2 ESV

Have you ever read the Verse of the Day in your Bible app, seen a verse, and thought, what should I pray? Don’t just taste the verse; place the whole daily meal before you and slowly chew every word of God, letting His Holy Spirit manifest His wisdom, understanding, righteousness, justice, integrity, and knowledge of God by the power of His Spirit. Like a companion, receive the Holy Spirit’s daily Proverb, listen, and treasure His instructions in the depths of your heart where His peace resides. Everything we need for our day’s journey is in Christ Jesus, and He faithfully provides for our needs according to the abundance of His grace, mercy, steadfast love, and faithfulness.
My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understand; yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints. Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path; for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul; discretion will watch over you, understanding will guard you, delivering you from the way of evil, from men of perverted speech, who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness, who rejoice in doing evil and delight in the perverseness of evil, men whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways.
Proverbs 2:1-15 ESV

Lord Jesus Christ, thank You for Your Word every morning. As the physical food You provide nourishes our bodies, so it is with the Holy Spirit who sustains us with heavenly manna: keep us on Your path of righteousness, and deliver us from the snares of the evil one; may no spiritual, physical, or emotions weapons against us and our loved ones prosper, bless the works of our hands, and the words of our mouths, may Your steadfast love and faithfulness guard our hearts and minds, Lord Jesus. Praise be to God the Father. I receive Your blessings with a grateful heart, in Jesus’ Name, amen.
