Prayer
Dear God,
As I come before you today, I ask for the gift of wisdom. Help me to discern what is right and make wise decisions in every area of my life. Grant me the ability to see situations from Your perspective and to respond with grace and understanding. Fill my mind with knowledge and understanding, and guide my actions with wisdom and insight.
Thank you for the promise in James 1:5 that if any of us lacks wisdom, we should ask You, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to us. I claim this promise and seek Your wisdom in all that I do.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
