Prayer based on Proverbs 20:17. Themes: Deception, Consequences, Temptation.

Dear Lord, please help me to resist the temptation of fraudulent food that may seem sweet to me in the moment but will ultimately leave me with a mouth full of gravel. Give me the strength to make wise choices and nourish my body with wholesome and healthy foods. May I always remember that my body is a temple and treat it with the respect and care it deserves. Amen.

Verse: Fraudulent food is sweet to a man, but afterwards his mouth is filled with gravel.
Proverbs 20:17

This is a Command. The verse is warning the reader to avoid fraudulent or deceitful things, as they may seem appealing at first but will ultimately lead to negative consequences.
