Ephesians 1:17
17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit[a] of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
Isaiah 33:6
6 He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure.
Colossians 1:9
9 For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives.
Father, Your Word promises that You will be my sure foundation, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge.
Forgive me Lord, for I know that I often look in other places for strength and stability and miss Your blessing in my life.
Forgive me for the times that I turn to the wisdom of the world, instead of turning to You.
I am so quick to take matters into my own hands and do what is right in my own eyes.
Teach me to pause, to seek Your face, wisdom and counsel.
You have said in Your Word that if I lack wisdom I should ask, and so I ask Father, give me Your wisdom, I pray.
Guard my mind today against worldly philosophies.
May I be rooted firmly in Christ!
In the situations that I face at work, home or school, may I know Your mind and be wise in all I do.
Keep me from error, and I ask for Your wisdom especially in regards to… (pray through your schedule and concerns)
May Your wisdom be evident through me as I engage those in my life with whom I have relationship.
I declare my dependence upon You alone, the source of all knowledge and wisdom and I ask that You give me wisdom from heaven that is:
• pure (reveal the hidden motives of my heart Father);
• peace loving (may my words build others up and promote unity I pray);
• considerate and submissive (may my thoughts be of the needs of others-teach me to serve);
• full of mercy and good fruit (may I be a dispenser of Your great grace);
• impartial and sincere (may my actions flow out of my love for You – help me to love like You love).
Strengthen me today, remind me I pray to live-out what Your Word says - that I might be like a wise man who builds his house on a rock, that regardless of the storms that come against me, I might not be moved.
In the Name of Jesus, who is the Word. Amen.
