Prayer based on Proverbs 15:21. Themes: Folly, Wisdom, Understanding

Dear God, please grant me the wisdom to recognize folly for what it is and to avoid it. Help me to understand the importance of keeping my way straight and to make wise decisions that honor you. May I always seek your guidance and follow your path, rather than being swayed by the temporary pleasures of this world. Thank you for your constant love and guidance. Amen.

Verse: Folly is joy to one who is void of wisdom, but a man of understanding keeps his way straight.
Proverbs 15:21

This is a Command. The verse instructs the reader to be a person of understanding and to keep their way straight, rather than finding joy in folly.
