So give Your servant an understanding mind and a hearing heart [with which] to judge Your people, so that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge and rule this great people of Your s?" 1 Kings 3:9Amplified Bible (AMP)
Father Lord God You said in Your word that if anyone lacks wisdom let them ask for it. You said in Your word that wisdom comes from You and begins with a reverential fear of You. Lord in and of myself I lack wisdom. I cannot do that which You would have me to do in my own strength. I need you. I am asking for wisdom and I know that You are well able and willing to grant it to me.
You said seek and I shall find. I am seeking out wisdom in the place of prayer, in Your holy word, by Your spirit and through divine connections and destiny helpers. You said ask and it shall be given. I am asking You to reveal truth, illuminate understanding and inspire godly action. I'm asking you to empower me to walk in holiness and righteousness in reverential fear so that I may uncompromisingly obey You. You said knock and it shall be opened unto me. I am standing at the door that leads to wisdom, knowledge and understanding and I am asking You to open it up unto me so that I may receive the treasures of wisdom. Thank You for opening doors no man can close and closing doors no man can open.
There is a great cloud of witnesses that have gone before me. You have used men and women of god mightily by granting them wisdom. You are no respecter of man. You gave my ancestors wisdom. You gave my Elder Brother Who is my Lord and Savior wisdom. I stand on His shoulders. I believe that when You look at me You see Your only begotten Son. Grant me wisdom through the anointing of His Holy Ghost.
I am but a child. You said suffer the little children to come unto me. I humbly come before You as a child. I don't know what to say, what to do, where to go and with whom without Your guidance. I am Your daughter crying out and seeking Your face for wisdom. Lord often times the children of the world are more savvy than Your children in many ways. Often times they know more so than we do how to navigate the world systems proficiently to achieve their goals. We have a head knowledge of Your word, but lack understanding hearts and wisdom to apply it. Father cause me to remain humble as a dove and yet be wise as a serpent. Teach me to work the word. Teach me to walk it out in my daily life.
I thank You for saving me, anointing me, placing Your spirit within me and teaching me how to navigate through the spirit realm. Let Your will be done in earth as it is in heaven. I know that I am not of this world but since I am in it dear Lord grant me the grace to navigate through world systems with good success. Give me wisdom to prosper in every area of my life. Father God grant me the grace to lead, manage, and administer effectively at home, work, in the community, in the kingdom and all of my spheres of influence.
Dear Lord help me by Your Spirit to choose between good and evil, light and darkness, that which is of You and that which is not, that which causes me to bear Your fruit and that which causes death and barrenness. Lord I thank You for granting me the divine ability to lead, make right decisions and navigate skillfully through life. In Jesus' name I pray, have great expectations, shall receive, rejoice and give thanks. Amen.
