Hosea 14:9

Who is wise? He will realise these things.
Who is discerning? He will understand them.
The ways of the LORD are right;
the righteous walk in them,
but the rebellious stumble in them.


Heavenly Father,

To be wise is to have common sense and be prudent in our ways,
To be discerning is to have keen insight and be perceptive throughout our days.

Both bring about good judgement to guide us in our life,
And to be lacking in them is what gets us into all kinds of strife.

A closed mind brings nothing but what we already know,
Where as being open minded brings new insight and allows us to grow.

To be rebellious keeps us trapped in our own ways and we cannot learn,
And it is through being detached and observant that we learn to be wise and discern.

The wise and discerning understand that Jesus path leads directly to you,
And are willing to follow your ways with a loving heart
and do whatever they must do.

Please have me always be receptive and to adhere to your call,
And not get stuck in my head with a stubborn heart,
as this is when I shall stumble and fall.

I love you with all of my mind, heart and soul and it is you that I need,
I pray that I walk the righteous path where my spirit can grow and be free.

God Bless,
Gina
