Today's Prayer Meditation is on Proverbs 31

I do not waste my strength or guzzle wine. Alcohol is for the dying, and wine for those in bitter distress. It is not for a daughter of the most High God. 

Father, I will speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; and ensure justice for those being crushed. I speak up for the poor and helpless, and see that they get justice.

I am virtuous and capable. Jesus paid a high price for me, more precious than rubies. 

I can be trusted, and I greatly enrich the lives of those around me. I bring good and not harm, all the days of my life.

I am industrious, and like a merchant’s ship, I bring food from afar. I get up before dawn to prepare breakfast for my household and plan the day’s work.

I invest wisely, and sow my earnings for a future harvest. 

I am energetic and strong, a hard worker. 

I make sure my dealings are profitable; burning the midnight oil when necessary. 

I keep my hands busy, because you have promised to bless everything I set my hands to, Father. 

I extend a helping hand to the poor and I open my arms to the needy.

I have no fear of winter for my household, for everyone has warm clothes, and warm bedding at night. 

I dress in fine linen and purple gowns. 

I make goods to sell to my customers. 

I am clothed with strength and dignity and I laugh without fear of the future, because you are always with me. 

When I speak, my words are wise, and I give instructions with kindness. 

I carefully watch everything in my household and suffer nothing from laziness.

My children stand and bless me.  

Charm is deceptive and beauty does not last, but I fear and reverance you, Father, and I am greatly praised. I am richly rewarded for all that I do.

So be it.

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
