Godly Wisdom in the Affairs of Life

Godly Wisdom in the

Affairs of Life

Father, You said if anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask of You,

Who giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not; and it

shall be given him. Therefore, I ask in faith, nothing wavering, to

be filled with the knowledge of Your will in all wisdom and

spiritual understanding. Today I incline my ear unto wisdom, and

I apply my heart to understanding so that I might receive that

which has been freely given unto me.

In the name of Jesus, I receive skill and godly wisdom and

instruction. I discern and comprehend the words of understanding

and insight. I receive instruction in wise dealing and the discipline

of wise thoughtfulness, righteousness, j u s t i c e, and integri ty.

Prudence, knowledge, discretion, and discernment are given to

me. I increase in knowledge. As a person of understanding, I

acquire skill and attain to sound counsels [so that I may be able to

steer my course rightly].

Wisdom will keep, defend, and protect me; I love her and she

guards me. I prizeWisdom highly and exalt her; she will bring me

to honor because I embrace her. She gives to my head a wreath of

gracefulness; a crown of beauty and glory will she deliver to me.

Length of days is in her right hand, and in her left hand are riches

and honor.

Jesus has been made unto me wisdom, and in Him are all the

treasures of [divine] wisdom, [of comprehensive insight into the

ways and purposes of God]; and [all the riches of spiritual]

knowledge and enlightenment are stored up and lie hidden. God

has hidden away sound and godly wisdom and stored it up for me,

for I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

Therefore, I will walk in paths of uprightness.When I walk,

my steps shall not be hampered — my path will be clear and open;

and when I run, I shall not stumble. I take fast hold of instruction

and do not let her go; I guard her, for she is my life. I let my eyes

look right on [with fixed purpose], and my gaze is straight before

me. I consider well the path of my feet, and I let all my ways be

established and ordered aright.

Father, in the name of Jesus, I look carefully to how I walk! I

live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as unwise and

witless, but as a wise — sensible, intelligent — person, making the

very most of my time — buying up every opportunity. Amen.
