Prayer For Godly Wisdom
Seeking Godly Wisdom
O Lord, my God, in the quiet sanctuary of Your presence, I seek the wisdom that is from above. In a world filled with the noise of my own reasoning and the clamor of worldly counsel, I turn to You, the source of all truth and understanding.
Grant me, I pray, the godly wisdom that is pure, peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. I ask this not for my own glory but that I may navigate life’s complexities in a manner that brings You honor and happiness.
I lay before You the choices and decisions that crowd my days, both great and small. In my longing to follow Your will, let me not lean on my own understanding, but in everything acknowledge You, knowing You will make my paths straight.
Enlighten my mind with the light of Your Word, that I may see each situation from Your perspective and act according to Your perfect wisdom.

In the quest for a life filled with Your peace and happiness, guide me away from the snares of folly and towards the paths of righteousness. Let Your Holy Spirit be my constant companion, whispering the way I should go when crossroads appear and decisions await.
I trust that Your guidance is perfect, Your timing impeccable, and Your paths are the way to everlasting joy. Whether I turn to the right or to the left, may my ears hear Your voice behind me, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”
I rejoice in knowing that as I submit to Your guidance, my journey will be marked by Your providence and the happy assurance of Your love and faithfulness.
