Wisdom from Proverbs

I am put in a spot. I have expected this, expected myself to reach this point, and I wondered if I would be able to handle this.

I have not broken down yet. (okay, maybe once, but that was because I was overwhelmed with school work. Whenever I break down, it's always about school work) Thought it would be right to turn to the right Source for help instead of trying to analyse and work things out on my own. I read through my old posts a few days ago and found that back then I really trusted God with everything, and I was mostly... at peace. It could also be due to the fact that I didn't have to deal with what I am dealing with now, but oh, how I long to have that kind of faith I once had. 

Read a bit from the book of Proverbs, and here God reminded me about the importance of wisdom, about the need to be righteous and just

²⁰ My son, pay attention to what I say;
   turn your ear to my words.
²¹ Do not let them out of your sight,
   keep them within your heart;
²² for they are life to those who find them
   and health to one’s whole body.
²³ Above all else, guard your heart,
   for everything you do flows from it.
²⁴ Keep your mouth free of perversity;
   keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
²⁵ Let your eyes look straight ahead;
   fix your gaze directly before you. 
²⁶ Give careful thought to the^[c] paths for your feet
   and be steadfast in all your ways.
²⁷ Do not turn to the right or the left;
   keep your foot from evil.

Proverbs 4: 20-27

I know it is indeed a reminder from God because of the physiological reactions I experience as I read this (increased heart rate being one of them). Here's another one:

¹⁰ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,    and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. 

Proverbs 9:10

Also, as I read this, I knew that my every action had to have God in mind, whatever I do and think must be a testimony to Him.

¹⁷ Whoever heeds discipline shows the way to life,
   but whoever ignores correction leads others astray.
 ¹⁸ Whoever conceals hatred with lying lips
   and spreads slander is a fool.
 ¹⁹ Sin is not ended by multiplying words,
   but the prudent hold their tongues.

Proverbs 10:17-19 

Dear Lord, please guide me as I walk this path. Help me to be a loving person, faithful, and humble. You will show me the way as go along, and I really want to take each step with the assurance that You are with me, and You are providing me with all that I need. Help me to walk in accordance with Your will, Your word, that I may please You and not myself... As I continue to carry out my duties, Lord may You direct me and grant me the wisdom and favour that I will need especially in this area. I commit everything into Your hands - my exams, my duties, the people I work with, among others. I thank You for Your grace that greatly abounds and I know that You will be my guide. In Jesus' name, Amen.
