Prayer based on Proverbs 18:17. Themes: Justice, Humility, Wisdom

Dear God, please help me to remember that just because someone presents their case first, it doesn’t mean that they are right. Help me to seek the truth and to question things that don’t seem right. Give me the wisdom to discern the truth and to stand up for what is right. Amen.

Verse: He who pleads his cause first seems right—until another comes and questions him.
Proverbs 18:17

This is a Command. The verse is advising the reader to not rush to judgment based on the first argument presented, but to listen to both sides before making a decision.
