Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,

I come before You today, seeking Your divine wisdom. You are the fountain of all knowledge and understanding, and I humbly ask that You pour Your insight and clarity into my life. Guide my thoughts, words, and actions so that I may walk in Your truth and make decisions that honor You.

Help me discern what is right and true, even when the choices are not easy. Grant me the ability to see beyond the surface and recognize Your hand in every situation. When I am faced with challenges, may Your wisdom be my anchor and my light.

Lord, I pray for a heart that is open to learning and growing, a mind that is sharp and discerning, and a spirit that is always aligned with Your will. Teach me to listen, to be patient, and to seek Your counsel in all things. May Your wisdom shape my character and guide my steps each day.

I thank You, Lord, for being my ultimate source of wisdom. Help me to trust in You fully, knowing that Your ways are higher than mine and Your plans are always for my good.

In Jesus’ name, I pray.

Amen.

  2. Consider James 1:5, where it is written, "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you." Write about a time when you sought God’s wisdom. How did it influence the outcome of that situation?

  3. Reflect on the story of Solomon asking God for wisdom in 1 Kings 3:9-12. How do you prioritize seeking wisdom over other desires in your life? Describe a practical step you can take to align yourself with this principle.
