The Prayer of Agur
Proverbs 30:7-9 “Two things I request of you (Lord) deprive me not before I die. Remove falsehood and lies far from me and give me neither poverty nor riches. Feed me with the food you prescribe for me. Lest I be full and deny you saying, “Who is the Lord?” or lest I be poor and steal and profane the name of my God.” Agur’s humble display of character, balance, awareness of personal weakness, and reliance on God is true wisdom spoken. This is not a ‘bless me’ prayer but a heart that desires that his life would bless God. Servanthood is a great idea until someone actually treats you like one.
