"One who is wise is cautious/fears the Lord and turns away from evil, but a fool is reckless and careless"

Lord help me to be wise. Help me not to be reckless and careless in my choices and actions. Lord, I need you to help me to turn from sin and temptations to sin. Help me to turn to you, Lord. May my life honor you.

"Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly"

Lord, help me to display the fruit of the spirit. Help me to be loving, joyful, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle and able exercise self-control. Help me to be patient with others - help me to esteem others more highly than myself.
