¹ Listen therefore O kings, and understand; learn, O judges of the ends of the earth.
(The Book of Wisdom Chapter 6 verse 1)
Oh God my Father if kings are to listen and judges are to understand I am to obey and be humble Amen.
² Give ear, you that rule over multitudes, and boast of many nations.
(The Book of Wisdom Chapter 6 verse 2)
Whether we are great or small, rich or poor educated or not, we are to keep our ears open to listen to Your voice my God and Father. The more humble we are the greater and active listeners we may become Amen. The more we are centred on ourselves, the less we listen to others Amen.
³ For your dominion was given you from the Lord, and your sovereignty from the Most High; he will search out your works and inquire into your plans.
(The Book of Wisdom Chapter 6 verse 3)
Oh God my Father I invite You to evaluate and judge my plans and my motives and show me where and when I am in error so that my life will be according to Your will Amen.
⁴ Because as servants of his kingdom you did not rule rightly or keep the law, or walk according to the purpose of God, ⁵ he will come upon you terribly and swiftly, because severe judgment falls on those in high places.
(The Book of Wisdom Chapter 6 verses 4 to 5)
Oh brothers and sisters, the greater we are the greater our responsibility and our accountability to both our neighbours and to God. The more talents that God has given us, the higher His expectation s expected from us. Amen.
⁶ For the lowliest may be pardoned in mercy, but the mighty will be mightily tested.
(The Book of Wisdom Chapter 6 verse 6)
Oh God my Father Your judgment is both wise and just manifesting itself justly according to our misgivings without having a bias toward nobody Amen.
⁷ For the Lord of all will not stand in awe of anyone, or show deference to greatness: because he himself made both small and great and he takes thought for all alike.
(The Book of Wisdom Chapter 6 verse 7)
Oh God my Father for You there is no partiality between rich and poor, strong or weak, however, You prefer us to be humble and not proud for the proud are full of themselves and have no space for You in their hearts and mind Amen.
⁸ But a strict inquiry is in store for the mighty.
(The Book of Wisdom Chapter 6 verse 8)
Oh God my Father the more responsibility that You have given us the more, you expect from us. I pray that You help me to live up to that which is expected of me both as a Christian and both as a Social Worker Amen.
⁹ To you then, O monarchs, my words are directed, so that you may learn wisdom and not transgress.
(The Book of Wisdom Chapter 6 verse 9)
Oh God my Father in truth those who follow You and Your wise are the wise people and not those who simply follow the principles and laws of science and philosophy. Your Word is the way the truth and the pathway to salvation Amen.
¹⁰ For they will be made holy who observe holy things in holiness, and those who have been taught them will find a defense.
(The Book of Wisdom Chapter 6 verse 10)
Every time I join You in prayer my God and Father I experience spiritual growth. I pray that when I am on the battlefield of life, with Your help I give witness and even help others to grow in their relationship with You. You are my spirit and bodyguard. You defend me all the time Amen.
¹¹ Therefore set your desire on my words; long for them, and you will be instructed.
(The Book of Wisdom Chapter 6 verse 11)

(The Book of Wisdom Chapter 6 verses 15 to 16)
Oh God my Father this is how I wish my life to be, that is united with You in both thoughts and actions Amen. Thank You Jesus.
¹⁷ The beginning of wisdom is the most sincere desire for instruction, and concern for instruction is love of her, ¹⁸ and love of her is the keeping of her laws, and giving heed to her laws is assurance of immortality, ¹⁹ and immotrality brings one near to God; ²⁰ so the desire for wisdom leads to a kingdom.
(The Book of Wisdom Chapter 6 verses 17 to 20)
Oh God I pray that You keep me in a state of humility and emptiness, thus making me vulnerable to the need of making me open to knowledge and experience of You in my heart. Every day in my relationship with You or better Yours with mine is a new experience. I thank You for this relationship my God and Father.
