January 6, 2024 - Proverbs‬ ‭6:20-23

“My son, obey your father’s godly instruction and follow your mother’s life-giving teaching. Fill your heart with their advice and let your life be shaped by what they’ve taught you. Their wisdom will guide you wherever you go and keep you from bringing harm to yourself. Their instruction will whisper to you at every sunrise and direct you through a brand-new day. For truth is a bright beam of light shining into every area of your life, instructing and correcting you to discover the ways to godly living.” Proverbs 6:20-23 TPT

Lord, we thank you for your wisdom and how you long to impart it to us. If we have Godly parents that do that in our lives, we thank you for them. We ask for you to put other spiritual “parents” or coaches in our lives as well. We ask for you to highlight people to us that can coach us in wisdom. Give us an open door to approach them and ask them to mentor us. Show us people who are walking in your wisdom and who won’t be afraid to speak into our lives in truth and love when needed. Give us people who are near us and can walk closely with us giving us godly instructions and life-giving teaching. Help us to press into it even when we don’t like what they have to say. Even when we know it means giving up or laying things down, or when it means confessing things we don’t want to say out loud. We want to press in at those times and not hide things. Give us such a desire for more of you that we are willing to lay down whatever you ask.

We want to have our lives filled with good advice that pushes us towards you. Give us more of your wisdom, Lord. We want to walk closely to you. We are so grateful that we get to walk this journey with you. We are so excited to see where you lead us and how you grow in us.

In Jesus name, amen.
