Ecclesiasticus 20:18

[18]To slip upon a pavement is better than to slip with the tongue: so the fall of the wicked shall come speedily.💕

Oh Most High 

You said , a thief is better 

Than a man who lies 

Better to be poor and humble 

Than rich and unwise 

If I can not through prayer 

Overcome an offense and be silent 

Then let me rebuke with kindness 

For it says in your word 

That is not good to be angry secretly 

And he that confesseth his fault 

Shall be preserved for hurt 

And that we will escape wilful sin 

If when rebuked we show repentance 

And that is why 

I keep repentance on my mind , 

And I repent for the times 

I’ve slipped with my lips 

Though good was my intention 

The results were many offenses 

Please 

Help me Most High. 

To keep my tongue 

So I can keep my life 

Give me discernment 

To hold it in until it is my time 

To speak or sing  , or pray or write 

Whatever purpose  you give me 

To lift your glory up High , 

If I dont have the answer 

I won’t offer an opinion 

If I have the answer , 

Please give me the confidence 

To say it , boldly and firmly 

But softly and kind 

With short but fervent words 

That paint a spiritual light 

For I know to slip with my lips 

It is better for me to slip on  pavement 

For speedy is the fall 

Of the wicked 

But slow and patient 

Is the walk of the righteous 

For it is better for us to be patient 

In seeking The Most High 

Than to live a life without a guide 

So please Father in heaven 

Send down your guide 

Let her teach me in all things 

Let Christ , Yashaya be my light 

That fills up my mind 

For you said better is a man that hideth  his folly 

Than to hide this wisdom within me 

Please give me the courage 

To act with wisdom 

In all things 

I praise you for all things 

Even  financially 

To not have the freedom to sin willfully 

I would rather live in this poverty , 

than 

To live a lie and be wealthy 

If you bless me with much 

May I be wise in it 

If you bless me with little 

May I be wise in it 

For you say , 

a thief is better 

Than a man who lies 

Better to be poor and humble 

Than rich and unwise 

But I stay rich in your precepts 

Stacking treasures up high , 

Praying to be wise , please 

Help me Most High. 

To keep my tongue 

So I can keep my life 

For I know to slip with my lips 

It is better for me to slip on  pavement 

For speedy is the fall 

Of the wicked 

But slow and patient 

Is the walk of the righteous 

Faithfully
