Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.
(Proverbs 13:20 NIV)
Lord, help me to set a good example and to be mindful of the company I keep. I am not here to judge, but I want to keep company with those using their time on this earth in constructive rather than wasteful ways. Help me to heed the advice of those with more life experience and – when called – to lead with a strong, gentle example. I am grateful for all of the lessons and blessings you have bestowed upon me, Lord.
