The Wise Prayer Of Agur For Honesty And Modesty

The Wise Prayer Of Agur For Honesty And Modesty

Have you ever read the wise prayer of Agur in Proverbs chapter 30? It’s one of those short prayers tucked away in an almost obscure part of Scripture, but certainly worth much consideration. Talking to two of his friends, Agur begins to pray and ask God for two main things: that falsehood and lies would be removed far from Him, and that he would be given neither poverty nor riches. This wise man’s prayer was essentially for a humble life of honesty and modesty so that he could honor God most fully. Let me pass along a challenge to you. As you spend time alone with God this week, consider Agur’s prayer, and then make it your own. Now that’s something to pray about!
