The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom.
Though it cost all you have, get understanding.
Proverbs 4:7 NIV
***
Heavenly Father,
I come before You with a humble heart,
seeking the light of Your understanding.
Guide my thoughts so they may be clear,
my words so they may be kind,
and my actions so they may reflect Your truth.
Grant me the wisdom to discern what is right,
the courage to follow it,
and the patience to wait for Your perfect timing.
When confusion clouds my mind,
be my clarity;
when fear grips my heart,
be my peace.
Teach me to listen more than I speak,
to love more than I judge,
and to trust more than I doubt.
May every choice I make bring honor to You
and blessing to those around me.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

***
The one who gets wisdom loves life;
the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper.
Proverbs 19:8 NIV
