Prayer based on Proverbs 12:8. Themes: Wisdom, Character, Reputation.

Dear God, please grant me the wisdom to make wise decisions and to act with integrity in all areas of my life. Help me to seek knowledge and understanding, and to use it for the betterment of myself and those around me. Protect me from a warped mind that leads to foolishness and poor choices. May I always be commended for my wisdom and respected by those around me. Amen.

Verse: A man shall be commended according to his wisdom, but he who has a warped mind shall be despised.
Proverbs 12:8

This is a Command. The verse commands the reader to seek wisdom and avoid having a warped mind, as commendation and despise are the consequences of each, respectively.
