Prayer based on Proverbs 23:7. Themes: Deception, Hypocrisy, Authenticity.

Dear Lord, help me to always remember that my thoughts and actions reflect who I am. May I never be like the one who invites others to eat and drink, but whose heart is not truly with them. Instead, may my heart be filled with love and compassion for those around me. Help me to be genuine in my words and actions, and to always consider the cost of my choices. Guide me to live a life that is pleasing to you, and may my thoughts and actions always reflect your love and grace. Amen.

Verse: for as he thinks about the cost, so he is.“Eat and drink!” he says to you, but his heart is not with you.
Proverbs 23:7

This is a Command. The verse is warning the reader to be cautious of those who offer hospitality but do not truly have good intentions.
