And Samuel said to the people, “Do not be afraid; you have done all this evil. Yet do not turn aside from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart. And do not turn aside after empty things that cannot profit or deliver, for they are empty. For the Lord will not forsake his people, for his great name’s sake, because it has pleased the Lord to make you a people for himself.”
1 Samuel 12:20-22 ESV
I desire to have wise counsel in my life - people who truly know me and my capabilities, who can lovingly point out when I'm drifting from the Lord and encourage me to draw near to Him again. I want to serve others in this same way. Lord, bring wise mentors into my life and keep me humble enough to receive their guidance. Also, bring others into my path whom I can support and speak truth to in return.
