God of wisdom, who knows the end from the beginning, grant us the courage to warn those who choose a foolish path, that they might perhaps turn them from their folly and choose that which leads to you and to life, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who taught us what is good and true and ascended to intercede for us before you in the Holy Spirit. Amen.
“Now then, listen to their voice; only–you shall solemnly warn them, and show them the ways of the king who shall reign over them.” – 1 Sam. 8:9
