I did read the book of Proverbs, with the group, but I also refer to
it in my daily reading, and as I was reading some "healing" verses, I came across these verses, and they really touched my heart, today...Prov.4:20-23...goes like this; My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
