My Wise and Comforting God, I marvel at Your wisdom which is so far above mine, is perfect and it’s complete … lacking in nothing. It is Your wisdom that nourishes and strengthens my thinking so that I do not get drawn into the follies of the world. Your wisdom gives me insights that are calming and fill me with hope. Help me avoid thinking thoughts that will sidetrack my walk with You. I must let nothing be more important to me than my search for Your wisdom and the understanding that comes from it so I can be productive. I want to become a good listener and respond appropriately to the correction contained in Your Word. True wisdom comes from knowing You and emulating Your example. To know You is more that assimilating facts about You. It begins with developing a deep respect and honor for You and doing what You ask of me. In learning from You, I believe that I will add years to my life.
Unhappiness and discontent are the fruit of my poor choices. If I act in accordance with Your will and make good choices, I will be satisfied and filled with hope. Hidden within Your wisdom are great and precious promises that help me to overcome evil and live under covering of Your mercy and grace. My life will automatically become better when I diligently seek Your wisdom in everything I do. If I rely on worldly thinking, I grow frustrated, become confused and my life falls into ruin. Each day I spent with You is filled with opportunities to grow and reap the benefits of our relationship. When I refuse to fritter away my time, and instead seek Your wisdom, I become more productive and fulfilled. To really be wise, I must accept Your instructions and obey them. As I walk under the guidance of Your wisdom, I act more prudently and become more thoughtful. I am more disciplined and I have order in my life.
When pain and sorrow weigh me down, it’s Your wise and comforting words that lift me up. When my faith is weak, I draw strength from the wisdom I find in Your Word. As I feel myself yielding to worry, I put my life into Your hands and ask You to guide me to a place of peace and safety. As I begin to internalize Your words, I can see more clearly through the eyes of faith the path I am to follow. As I walk in Your light, I become more aware of Your promises and how they fit into my life. In these times, I can put an end to my perpetual wandering and hopelessness. My confusion and emptiness are replaced with an inner knowing that all is well because You are with me. I must watch how I am leading my life … choosing to follow Your example so I can reap good things for my life. In my continuing search for Your wisdom, I know my life will be filled with Your blessings. And it’s in Jesus’ name I pray. AMEN!!
Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
