Lord, Give Me Wisdom To Make The Right Decisions
Lord, You said in Your Word that You store up sound wisdom for the upright (Proverbs 2:7).
Help me to walk up- rightly, righteously, and obediently to Your commands. May I never be wise in my own eyes, but May I al- ways fear You. Keep me far from evil so that I can claim the health and strength Your Word promises (Proverbs 3:7-8).
Give me the wisdom, knowledge, under- standing, direction, and discernment I need
to keep me away from the plans of evil so that I will walk safely and not stumble (Proverbs 2:10-13).
Lord, I know that in You are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Colos- sians 2:3).
Help me to discover those treasures.
Through wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is es- tablished; by knowl- edge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
