Psalm 22 (selected verses)
But You are holy,
Who inhabit the praises of Israel.
Our fatehr trusted in You and You delivered them.
They cried to You and were delivered;
They trusted in You and were not ashamed
You have been my God.
Be not far from me...
You have answered me.
I will declare your name
I will praise You
You who fear the Lord, praise Him!
Glorify Him & fear Him!

Proverbs 22 (selected verses)
~~Its better to choose a good name over great riches.
~~The Lord is the maker of them all (both the poor & the rich)
~~Riches and honor and life are by humility and the fear of the Lord.
Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it.
~~Love purity of heart and have grace on your lips
~~The mouth of an immoral woman is a deep pit.
Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child,
But the rod of correction will drive it far from him.

Psalm 16:1-11 (selected verses)
...for in You, I put my trust
...my goodness is nothing apart from You
...I have a good inheritance
I will bless the Lord who has given me councel;
my heart also instructs me in the right seasons.
I have set the Lord always before me
Because He is at my right hand
I shall not be moved
My heart is glad and my glory rejoices;
My flesh will also rest in hope
You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Proverbs 13 (a few verses that i needed to hear at that time)

He who guards his mouth preserves his life,
but he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction.

A righteous man hates lying,
but a wicked man is loathesome & comes to shame.

By pride comes only contention,
but with the well-advised is wisdom.

He who despises the word will be destroyed,
but he who fears the commandment will be rewarded

Good understanding gains favor,
but the way of the unfaithful is hard.

Every prudent man acts with knowledge,
but a fool lays open his folly.

Poverty and shame will come to him who disdains correction,
but he who regards reproof will be honored.

My desire:
For God to help me learn discernment & discretion and keep me from saying anything that displeases Him or in a manner that is unwise.

Proverbs 1-5 (selected verses)
Yes, if you cry out for discernment
And lift up your voice for understanding,
If you seek her as silver,
and search for her as for hidden treasures;
Then you will understand the fear of the Lord,
And find the knowledge of God.
