Hold tight to good advice; don’t relax your grip.
Guard it well—your life is at stake!
2 TIMOTHY 3:14-15 (CEB)
But you must continue with the things you have learned and found convincing. You know who taught you. Since childhood you have known the holy scriptures that help you to be wise in a way that leads to salvation through faith that is in Christ Jesus.

PRAYER
God, your instructions are consistent and trustworthy. I thank you for everyone in my life who has instructed me in your ways —my parents, my Sunday School teachers, youth leaders, family, friends, and... There are so many that I can't count them all. Forgive me for allowing the messages that come from the corrupt world to influence me. Help me to hold tight to your instructions as I make daily decisions about how I'll handle the world around me. I want to be wise in the ways of Christ Jesus. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen
