“Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me! And blessed is your advice and blessed are you....” – 1 Samuel 25:32-33

Gracious Lord, You alone are wise and hold the keys to all knowledge. Yet you have promised to generously share Your wisdom with me when I ask for it. Thank You for giving me Your words in Scripture, to show me the way to Your abundant life. When I hunger and thirst for guidance, help me to trust in Your Holy Spirit to comfort and fill me with Your faithful goodness. When I face the challenges of tomorrow, please walk beside me through the fires and trials, so that my feet may not slip. Lord Jesus, let Your light continue to guide me on my life journey. Make me a wise follower, and give me courage to act boldly for Your glory. In Your name, Jesus, Amen.

“If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and He will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.” -- James 1:5 

God is not interested if we are winning in life. He seeks to be close to us so we reflect His love through our lives. Ultimately, wisdom builds our life on the solid rock of Christ instead of the shaky ground of chance, indecision, or discouragement. A life built on the solid foundation of Godly wisdom provides a compass for guidance and helps us withstand storms.

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. James 3:13 NIV

Heavenly Father, I sometimes find myself in situations where I feel unfairly treated. In these moments, I often believe that the best way to handle it is to take the burden completely upon myself and do what I feel is best. But I know, through your Word, that this is not the best way to handle things. Father, I ask that you would grant me the wisdom I need to process through what is wrong and lean on you for divine guidance as to what the best solution might be. Lead me and guide me to be the person you need me to be. I pray these things in Jesus's name, Amen!

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. James 3:13 

James 3 tells us that our words have the power to influence people for good or destroy them. James follows it with wisdom in verses 13 through 18. Wisdom helps us control our words by yielding our will to God’s will. Certainly, our anger might be justified, but what we say and do changes the outcome. The world may tell us to follow our hearts, but God says that letting our emotions affect our decisions will only lead to trouble. By humbly yielding our will to God, He empowers us to release our pride and put His Word into practice, producing peace.

I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence . . -- Proverbs 8:12

Father God, with You alone is true wisdom found. And though I hear it calling and want to receive it, my emotions still imprison me to wounds I can’t seem to heal. Lord, pour Your healing balm of understanding and reason into the broken places in my heart. Heal the hurts so that I might gain the wisdom that is from You. May Your words always guide me as the true source of reason and understanding, and may I walk in wisdom always. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence . -  Proverbs 8:12

Unfortunately, our wounds are more likely to produce feelings and emotions instead of wisdom. Wisdom isn’t the product of emotion, though acting on our emotions often brings us an opportunity to gain wisdom. Most of the emotions we experience after being hurt arise from lies we believe why we were wounded. I deserved to be hurt because I’m not . . . smart enough, kind enough, pretty enough, good enough. The list goes on. But God’s Word tells us we are created in His image (see Genesis 1:27). Through His Word we know we are His masterpiece (see Ephesians 2:10).

Why do you stand afar off, O Lord? Why do You hide Yourself in times of trouble? -- Psalm 10:1-2

Father, I want to learn how to trust you more in the times when I feel like I cannot see You working. Things that weaken my faith are giving up control, fear of the future, anxiety, doubt, and worry. Help me to put these away and remember You are in Your Holy Temple, You are in control, and Your plans will always be better than any I come up with. Even when the world seems nothing but pain, strife, and confusion, help me to focus only on You, the everlasting One. In Jesus's name, Amen.

Why do you stand afar off, O Lord? Why do You hide Yourself in times of trouble? -- Psalm 10:1-2

Have you ever heard someone say, "I like Jesus, but if I could just see Him, then I'd believe?" Of course, this isn't true because many people saw Jesus raise Lazarus from the dead, and some still didn't believe He was the Son of God. When God goes invisible in stressful times like our uncertain, chaotic world of today, that is when we need to trust Him the most.

How do we learn to trust someone we can't see?
