“Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
    bind them around your neck,
    write them on the tablet of your heart.
⁴ Then you will win favor and a good name
    in the sight of God and man.”

Proverbs 3:3-4 NIV

Father God, thank You for creating us as part of Your family.  We are grateful for the people in our lives who have encouraged us.  We pray that we can be an encouragement to others.  Help us be aware of those around us who are discouraged.  Show us ways to spread Your love in our daily interactions with others.  In Jesus name, Amen.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
⁶ in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight.”^[a]

Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV
