Prayer based on Proverbs 9:7. Themes: Pride, Consequences, Wisdom.
Dear God, please give me the wisdom to know when to correct someone and when to stay silent. Help me to approach those who mock or act wickedly with love and compassion, rather than judgment and condemnation. Give me the strength to endure any insults or abuse that may come my way as a result of speaking truth. May my words and actions always reflect your grace and mercy. Amen.
Verse: One who corrects a mocker invites insult. One who reproves a wicked man invites abuse.
Proverbs 9:7
This is a Command. The verse is advising the reader not to correct a mocker or reprove a wicked man, as it will only result in insult or abuse.
