A false balance is an abomination to the Lord,
     but a just weight is his delight.
 When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
     but with the humble is wisdom. (Proverbs 11:1-2)
Lord, you care about honest scales — about whether a person can be trusted in the small, unseen transactions of everyday life. I pray that ______ would be trustworthy in the little things: their words, their work, their dealings with others. Guard them from the pride that always comes before a fall, and give them the humility that you say carries wisdom along with it. For your glory and their good, in Jesus’ name, amen.
