Morning Prayer 

Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.

Inspiration 

As a parent, have you ever told your children that certain people are a ‘bad influence’ on them? If so, then this proverb should resonate with you. Even our Heavenly Father warns us not to follow the ways of the bad influence. Each step on a wrong path leads further from the true path and closer to ruin. So we must be watchful to avoid even the first step down such a road.

Prayer 

Father God, please watch over my steps as I walk with You. Teach me to walk in all wisdom and truth. Give me discernment to recognize paths that lead to destruction, and grant me power in Your Spirit to resist the temptation to follow those paths. Remain near to me as I walk with You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
