Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Proverbs 27:6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. PROVERBS 27:6 DEVOTION Based on Proverbs 27 True friendship isn’t just kindness—it’s truth in love. A faithful friend won’t flatter you into complacency but will speak what’s needed, even when it hurts. These “wounds” are not to injure, but to refine. Honest correction, given in love, protects us from paths that could lead to harm. It’s far better to be challenged by someone who loves you than praised by someone who doesn’t. God places trustworthy people in our lives to sharpen us. When someone speaks truth with love, listen. And be the kind of friend who speaks truth with grace. A.C.T.S. REFLECTION ADORATION: Lord, You are truth and love, perfectly balanced. You correct and guide in righteousness. CONFESSION: I sometimes resist correction and value comfort over growth. THANKSGIVING: Thank You for friends who have loved me enough to speak the truth. Thank You for refining me through honest conversations that shaped my walk with You. SUPPLICATION: God, help me accept truth with humility and offer it gracefully. Let me be courageous in love and discerning in speech. Build in me relationships rooted in reality and kindness. Let all correction be seasoned with compassion, and may my heart remain teachable before You and others. PRAYER “Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.” PROVERBS 27:6 Dear Lord, We thank You for the gift of friendship. We are grateful that in all our relationships we can come to You for guidance. We ask that You help us to be humble and open to the advice of our friends who love us enough to rebuke us when needed. Help us, Dear Lord, to be wise in the advice we listen to and accept it. We pray that You keep us from giving in to flattery from those with hidden motives and ill-intent. Let us not be naive but rather remember Your words of wisdom. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🙏🏾 PRAY FOR YOUR COMMUNITY Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jarvis-kingston--1517583/support. Repent and Get Baptized
