Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away. For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.” (Pro 4:14 KJVLite).

Father God, in heaven, I pray, in the name of Jesus, that we, Your servants follow Your strong instruction. When we are weak, O God, I pray, cause our eyes to look to You, and our thoughts to focus on Your instruction. Be our strength, O God, help us walk away from everything that resembles evil, and turn away from, leave behind, and cut ties with people whose words and actions are evil, as light has no fellowship with darkness.

Father, help us to spiritually discern how evil people present themselves as godly while doing everything they can to cause some to fall. Father, many have fallen, and others are in danger of falling into evil traps, so I pray for Your covering in all areas of our lives. Be our guard, O God, while we watch, pray, and stand resolute and steadfast, obedient to Your instruction. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
