A Prayer for Wisdom

Heavenly Father,

I come before You today with a humble heart, asking for Your divine wisdom. You are the source of all knowledge and understanding, and I recognize my need for Your guidance in every area of my life. As Your Word says in James 1:5: “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.” I come boldly before Your throne, trusting in Your promise to provide the wisdom I seek.

Lord, I ask for wisdom in my decisions, both big and small. Help me to discern the right path and to know Your will in all situations. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5-6). I choose to trust You with all my heart, submitting my plans and desires to You, knowing that Your ways are higher than mine.

I also ask for a heart of humility to receive wisdom and instruction from You. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding” (Proverbs 9:10). Fill me with a deep reverence for You, Lord, and a desire to walk in Your ways. Let my pursuit of wisdom always be rooted in my relationship with You.

Lord, give me the wisdom to speak words that bring life and healing. “If anyone is wise and understanding, let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom” (James 3:13). Help me to live out the wisdom You provide, so that my actions and my words reflect Your truth and love.

Grant me the wisdom to navigate challenges, to remain steadfast in trials, and to rely on Your guidance rather than my own. “For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding” (Proverbs 2:6). Let Your wisdom be my foundation, shaping my decisions, my thoughts, and my interactions with others.

When I face uncertainty, remind me of Your Word in Isaiah 55:9: “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.” Help me to trust Your wisdom, even when I don’t understand the circumstances or outcomes.

Lord, teach me to value wisdom above all earthly riches and to seek it diligently. “Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold” (Proverbs 3:13-14). May I treasure Your wisdom and let it guide every aspect of my life.

Thank You for hearing my prayer and for the wisdom You freely give. May Your wisdom lead me closer to You, and may my life reflect the knowledge and understanding that come only from Your Spirit.

In Jesus’ name, I pray,

Amen.
