All-Wise Heavenly Father, I come to You in Jesus’ Name, thankful that I can call upon You for Your unlimited wisdom and instruction when it comes to the way I should live my life. Your Word has all the answers I need, for every decision I have to make. It shows me how to avoid foolishness and ruin. Proverbs 2:1-3 “My child, listen to what I say, and treasure my commands. Tune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding. Cry out for insight, and ask for understanding.” (NLT)

I confess and ask for forgiveness for the times when I have acted on my own before inquiring for wisdom from You and Your Word. Proverbs 3:5 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.” I repent of my tendency to blame You when things don’t turn out the way I think they should, especially when I have not followed Your directions for my life.

Direct me to increase my ability to live by Your wisdom and be filled with Your Spirit of Wisdom so that I can discern and follow Your will. Let my mouth speak Your wisdom out of an overflow of the righteousness You have instilled in me. Psalm 141:3 “Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips.” Matthew 12:34c “For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.“

Thank you for sending Your Son to demonstrate Your power and wisdom to me, and for sending Your Holy Spirit to live within me so that I will never be in a place where You are unable to help me. Allow me to experience all that You say in Your Word about wisdom so that Proverbs 3:13 is a reality in my life. “Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding.”

I bring these praises and requests to You, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
