Scriptural Prayer
Praise and Worship
Heavenly Father, we worship You as the source of all wisdom. You are the all-knowing God who created the heavens and the earth with perfect understanding. We exalt You for Your generosity, for You never withhold wisdom from those who seek it with humble hearts. Thank You for being a God who desires to guide us, equip us, and lead us into truth. We praise You for Your unchanging character and Your willingness to pour out wisdom upon Your people.
Praying God’s Will
Lord, Your will is that we seek wisdom from You, acknowledging our dependence on Your guidance. Teach us to approach You in humility, recognizing that Your wisdom far surpasses our understanding. Help us to desire Your wisdom above all else, so that our decisions and actions align with Your purposes. May we trust fully in Your promise to give wisdom generously when we ask in faith.
Praying the Request
Father, we come before You asking for wisdom in every area of our lives. Guide us in our relationships, our work, and our decisions. Help us to discern Your will and walk in Your truth. Grant us the wisdom to navigate challenges with grace and to make choices that glorify You. Teach us to rely on Your understanding rather than our own, and equip us to be wise counselors to others.
Praying for Forgiveness
Gracious God, we confess the times we have leaned on our own understanding rather than seeking Your wisdom. Forgive us for our pride and self-reliance. Forgive us for failing to come to You in prayer when faced with difficult decisions. Cleanse our hearts of arrogance and renew our minds to trust fully in Your guidance. Teach us to seek You first in all things.
Praying for Protection
Lord, protect us from the false wisdom of the world that leads us astray. Guard our hearts against confusion and our minds from the lies of the enemy. Surround us with Your truth, and help us to filter every decision through the lens of Your Word. Keep us steadfast in seeking Your wisdom and grounded in the knowledge of Your character.
Praise and Worship
We praise You, Lord, for being the generous giver of wisdom. Your guidance is perfect, and Your counsel is trustworthy. Thank You for Your promise to answer when we ask for wisdom, and for Your faithfulness to lead us on the path of righteousness. May our lives reflect the fruit of Your wisdom, bringing glory to Your name. To You be all honor, praise, and adoration, now and forever. Amen.
