Episode 389: Wisdom

Today's Prayer Meditation is on Wisdom

Father, you give wisdom. From your mouth come knowledge and understanding.

I am very careful how I live -- not as the unwise, but with wisdom, making most of every opportunity as you lead me. You have promised that if I lack wisdom in any area, all I have to do is ask you. You give generously to all without finding fault, and you give me wisdom when I ask. The wisdom that comes from you is pure. It is peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit. It is impartial and sincere.

How much better it is to get wisdom than gold; to get insight rather than silver.

I am wise in the way I act toward others, and I make the most of every opportunity. My conversation is always full of grace, seasoned with salt, and I always know how to answer everyone, because you give me the words to say.

I avoid strife at all costs, beause I know where strife is, there is pride. I am open to godly advice from others, and welcome the wisdom they share with me. I listen more than I speak, for I recognize that even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues.

I get wisdom and love life. I cherish understanding, and it makes me prosper.

I do not deceive myself by thinking I am wise by the standards of this age. I am happy to become a fool in the eyes of the world so that I may become wise by your standards, Father. I show wisdom and understanding by my good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.

I study your words, Father, and put them into practice in my life, building a strong foundation like a wise man who builds his house on a rock.

Wisdom instructs me to fear and reverence you, Father. I humble myself to your word and I know that humility comes before honor. Your thoughts are not the way I naturally think. And your ways are not the way I would naturally act. So I exchange my human wisdom for your wisdom, Father. You have given me the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that I may know you better.

I thank and praise you, Father. You have given me wisdom and power, you make known to me what I ask of you. You are the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. You do not grow tired or weary and your understanding is more than I can fathom.

Everything comes from you. Your plan is wonderful and your wisdom is magnificent.

So be it.

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
