Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word, which reminds us of the importance of asking You for godly wisdom when we feel that we are lacking in understanding or discernment, for You have promised to give generously to all who ask in faith.
Lord, there are many areas of my life in which I desire to apply godly wisdom, and I pray that by Your grace, You would supply me with a sound mind so that I may be able to give an answer to whosoever asks me about the faith that I have in the Lord Jesus Christ. And Father, by Your grace, I pray that this will help to prevent me from being tossed about by the many winds of doctrine and false gospels that are being peddled today, by blind teachers of the blind.
Help me to truly ask in faith, for I know and believe that Your Word is true and I trust You to keep Your Word. I confess Father, at times I doubt that You include me in this promise as well, so help me to overcome any doubts that may surface in my heart and may my faith in You become strong and my wisdom from You be used to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
Dear Lord, give me I pray, a true and biblical understanding of how to live godly in Christ Jesus. I realise more and more how hateful sin is to You Father God, and I realise that I must have been hurting You by my many petty indulgences, which I now realise is sin in Your eyes.
Lord, I want to develop a godly perspective and to live a righteous life that is pleasing to You, and I realise that I must forget the things that are in the past and press on to the upward call I have in Christ Jesus.
Lord, I know that reverence for You is the first step to wisdom, and I pray that You would develop in me a godly fear and a humble respect for all those things that are so objectionable to the world mindset, but which is pleasing in Your sight.
Give me godly wisdom I pray, to follow after that which is good and give me wise discernment to know those things that are displeasing to You, and to flee far from anything that could tempt me to sin against You.
Open Your Word I pray to my understanding, and draw me ever closer to Yourself, so that like Job I can say, “I have heard of You with my ears but now You have opened my eyes to a deeper spiritual understanding of Who You truly are.” I ask this in Jesus' name,
Amen.
Father, I pray that You would grant me the Spirit of wisdom and discernment so that I may know You better and love You more.
Give me an understanding heart so that I may be open to hear Your voice and hear You say, "this is the path, walk in it."
Use me I pray, to be Your hands and feet, Your voice and heart, that I may be a channel through which You pour out Your grace to others. May I decrease to nothing so that only Christ is seen in my life. I ask this in the power of the Spirit and in the name of Jesus, in Whose name I pray,
Amen.
Loving Father, this is my prayer - that my love may abound more and more in all knowledge, depth of insight and in discerning Your will, so that I may be able to understand all that is best, and that which is pleasing in Your sight.
I pray that I may be pure and blameless in Your sight, until the day that Christ Himself comes to take us to be with Himself. But until that day arrives, I ask that You keep me humble before You, so that I may be used to Your praise and glory.
Lord I pray this not for me only, but for all my brothers and sisters that are called by Your name, that together we may live in unity and godly peace with a heart of understanding to discern Your will and purpose.
I ask this in the name of Jesus,
Amen.
Heavenly Father, my heart is trusting in you for your great help. Lord, I've been in a relationship with my boyfriend for almost six years now. There is no sign whether it will change to a marriage. Sometimes he talks about setling down then nothing happens. I am so confused and don't know whether I should call the relationship off. Lord, please I need a supporting hand to guide me and keep me on the right decision making path. Father, please show me the right way about this relationship. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
Loving Lord, I am single and would love to have a boyfriend and to eventually get married, for You created men and women to live together and to cleave to each other, in the bond of loving unity. But Lord I want to be wise in my choices, for I know that You have scheduled every day of my life and this sort of union needs to be rooted in Your love and grounded on true biblical principles, and these days Lord, it is increasingly difficult to find men who love You with a godly love.
Lord, it is my desire to seek You over this matter of a boyfriend with all my heart, to seek You first and to leave my life entirely in Your hands, knowing You will prepare both my heart and that of my future boyfriend/spouse as is best for me and for him.
Help me not to follow my own feelings and emotions, which I know can be false and can often impede true wisdom, but rather may I rest in You entirely, knowing that at the right time and in the right way You will bring the right man of God into my life, so that together we may love and serve You as You would choose.
Help me to be patient and gracious in my waiting, and help me to love and trust You more and more. I pray that You would prepare us both for that time when You draw us together in a loving relationship, both in Your timing and in Your perfect way. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
Loving Heavenly Father, thank You that You have given us all that we need for life and godliness, but Lord, I also pray that You would grant me godly wisdom and the sufficient grace to navigate my way through life, in the power of the Holy Spirit.
You have called us to be as wise as serpents and yet as gentle as doves, and so I ask for Your practical wisdom, gracious sensitivity and wise discernment so that I may be enabled to identify what is from You, and what is designed to trip up Your children in these end times, and even deceive the very elect of God.
Father, I know that in these last days the Church is going to be flooded with the spirit of deception and many unbiblical teachings, and Lord, we appear to be in this position today. But I praise and thank You I am in Christ, Who has become for me the wisdom from God. I praise Your name that I am in Christ, clothed in His righteousness and redeemed by His blood.
Grant me I pray, that sufficient grace and godly wisdom that only comes from You, so that I may live as unto the Lord in a world that has rejected You. Fill me I pray, with Your Holy Spirit, so that I may act justly in love and mercy, and walk humbly before You all the days of my life. This I ask in Jesus' name,
Amen.
Heavenly Father, I know that the Bible says that we do not wrestle against the powers from the earthly sphere, but against satanic forces in the heavenly and spiritual realms, against principalities, powers and other strong forces of evil, whose chief aim is to kill, steal, destroy and shipwreck the lives of all your children.
Lord, help me I pray, to resist the devil, knowing that the Holy Spirit Who is living within me is greater than all the combined forces in the satanic realm. Help me I pray, to utilise every piece of the heavenly armour day by day, and to clothe myself in Christ, knowing that in Him is my protection and my sufficiency to resist all the powers that are coming against me and those I love.
Identify in me any lusts or habits that have become a stronghold and which are adversely taking control of my life. Give me the grace to admit my faults and turn from everything and anything that in any way is dragging me into a slavery to sin. Break I pray all strongholds in my life, knowing that it is only by the cleansing blood of Christ, that I can gain victory over the world and the flesh and any strongholds that have enslaved me.
Lord, I surrender my life to You and pray that from this day forward, You would lead and guide me into all truth. Thank You that in You is freedom from slavery to sin and spiritual release from the power of sin, Satan and strongholds in my life. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
Loving Lord, thank You that You have placed us in families. I ask Your blessing on all those that are seeking to teach their children in a home environment.
I pray that You will give parents wisdom and discernment as they decide which curriculum they should follow and what lessons they will teach their children. I particularly ask that You would lead and guide those parents who are seeking to bring up their children in the fear and the nurture of the Lord. Give them wisdom in their planning and patience as they teach their children, day by day.
May You find first place in all the choices these parents make, and I pray that they will not be placed under any pressure from the various authorities, requiring them to embrace teachings that is not founded on Your Word.
Undertake for all the financial constraints that are laid on all who teach their children at home, and meet the needs of both the parents and their children, I pray. Support and strengthen all those involved in home-schooling. May they keep their eyes and heart on the Lord Jesus Christ in these difficult days.
Amen.
Dear God, You have said in Your Word that if we lack wisdom You will give generously to all those who ask. I pray that You would give me wisdom to discern what is bad and wisdom to seek after that which is good, for Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name,
Amen.
Lead me Lord, in the righteous path that You would have me go and help me not to rely on my own human knowledge and strength, but help me to depend implicitly on Your godly wisdom and power, knowing that we do not fight against flesh and blood but against principalities and spiritual powers in high places.
Lord, I know that I am not to live by worldly might or fleshly power but by Your Spirit, and so help me I pray, to stand against the evil tactics of the enemy and to withstand his fiery darts and satanic strategies. Endue me with the spiritual wisdom to fight the fight of faith in my life, and may I obediently stand firm in the evil day, looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of my faith as I abide in Him and He in me. It is in His name that I pray,
Amen.
Heavenly Father, thank You, that I am in Christ and that I am not of this world. Thank You, that I am seated with Christ in heavenly places and that my home is in heaven. Thank You, that I am Your child. And Lord, knowing that I am in the world but not of the world, I ask that You would give me the grace and wisdom to live in such a way as to glorify Your name in all I say and do.
Help me Lord, to pray for my work colleagues with a biblical mind-set. Help me not to despise the shame or ridicule that I am having to endure, but rather, I pray that I may demonstrate the sort of spirit that Christ Jesus my Lord showed when He learned obedience by the things that He had to suffer.
Lord, You know that there are problems at work, but I pray that I would face them in a manner that is pleasing to You, so that I may grow in grace and mature in the faith. Teach me Your ways and may I rest on Your faithful promises, no matter what hostility I receive from my work colleagues or any other area. Keep me ever looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of my faith, in Whose name I pray,
Amen.
Heavenly Father, the things that are happening in the world today are waxing worse and worse, just as the Bible said would happen in these end times, and we look to You to know what to do. Lord, we look to You for knowledge and wisdom at a time when all that is connected with God and godliness is being so severely attacked, and is so quickly being eroded away.
Father, we know that the Bible is Your Word of truth, and yet throughout the nations it is losing its authority and respect, and being replaced with secular humanism and an anti-God agenda. Father, we know that the Lord Jesus is coming soon to judge the nations with righteousness and truth, but we pray that as we wait for His any day return, that You would grant us Your knowledge and wisdom to know what to do and how to behave in a world that is spiralling out of control. We pray that Jesus will come soon. In His name we pray,
Amen.
Dear Lord Jesus, You said in Your Word that if anyone needed wisdom they were to ask You and You give it freely to all who ask. I come to You today to ask for wisdom, especially in my dealings with money and finances.
Lord, I do not have a lot of money or savings, but I have always had sufficient, for which I praise Your name. However, the price of all the necessities of life seem to be rising and I ask You to give me wisdom on how to spend my money wisely.
Lord, I know that however much or however little I have in my purse I can always spend it on something, and I think it was Proverbs that says that money is like a wild animal that needs to be tamed.
Give me wisdom, Lord, to use the money I have wisely, to be generous without being foolish, to be liberal without being imprudent, to give willingly when prompted by You without feeling obliged to give to everyone in need.
Thank You Lord,
Amen.
Heavenly Father, I ask for the spirit of wisdom and revelation that You are pleased to give generously to all Your children, who come to you seeking Your face with all their hearts. Strengthen me in the inner man, and give me the grace and vision to be a participant in the furthering of Your plans and purposes in my life and in my prayers. I know that in Your wisdom, You have purposed a time when Christ will complete all that You have purposed for humanity, and also that in Your grace You have given us the opportunity to become participants, in praying into Your will.
Lord, forgive me for so often praying with limited understanding about the many things that concern us in our world in general, and in my own individual life in particular. Give me a vision of Your plan for mankind, and make me a perceptive praying partner in seeking Your face. Give me an understanding heart and nurture in me the desire to plead Your cause, in these increasingly difficult days in which we are living.
Give me that central vision that has been in the heart of God, before the foundation of the world, where God in His wisdom decreed that all those who put their trust in Christ would become one with Him until Christ is all in all.
Give me an understanding heart and teach me how to pray into Your perfect will, to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name,
Amen.
Dear Heavenly Father, You have blessed me with much abundance of wealth, and I do thank You for all that You have so graciously provided for me. Lord, I want to thank You with all my heart and ask that give me great wisdom to know how best to use this wealth, that I believe has been entrusted to me from Your gracious hand, and for which I praise and thank You.
Help me not to be selfish in the use of my wealth and also I pray that You would prevent me not to be foolish either, for I believe that this is a resource that can be used for both good and evil. Lord, I pray that You would help me to use this abundance that You have lovingly bestowed on me, wisely and to Your greater glory.
Lord, I know that there are many people who seek out wealthy folk with a wrong intention and I ask that You would give me great discernment with all those whom I meet. Give me wisdom Lord, to use my wealth wisely. In Jesus' name,
Amen.
Lord, my plan is to leave home as I know that I am becoming a drain on my parents in these difficult times, and I want to be able to support myself and help them in whatever way I can. Give me wisdom as I make my plans. Help me find the right place to live and provide a good job for me I pray. And Lord, please help me to be able to leave in such a way that my parents do not feel that I have deserted them, but rather that this is the best thing for us all.
Thank You for my parents who have both been such a support and encouragement to me throughout my whole life. I want to thank You, Lord, for both of them. I pray that I may honour them in my future path.
Thank You Lord,
Amen.
Loving Lord, instil in me a grateful and generous heart I pray, and may I grow in grace and mature in the faith so that I may be entrusted by You to walk in Your ways and to give generously and cheerfully of all the time, treasures and talents that You have graciously bestowed on me.
Lord, I know that at times I have not offered of myself sacrificially, but Father, I desire to be a grateful and generous child of Yours, who brings glory to Your name in all I say and do and am.
Give me wisdom to use what You have entrusted to me in a way that is pleasing to You and helpful to others. Help me always to acknowledge You as my provider and keep me from selfishly hoarding the gifts You have entrusted to me, but rather to give with a cheerful and generous heart to all my brothers and sisters in need. I ask this in Jesus' name,
Amen.
Thank You, Father, for the wonderful way that we have been created in Your likeness and for the amazing way that our bodies and minds function. Lord, I pray that You would enable me a deeper understanding of You, Your will, Your ways and Your person.
Teach me what You would have me do in the place where You have planted me. Help me day by day Lord, to fix the eyes of my heart and the gaze of my understanding on You. Use my hands and my feet to lift and carry others, and may I walk in the paths that You have set before me and not stray from Your will for my life.
Lord, I pray that the thoughts of my mind would be continuously upon You, so that I may speak only those things that are pleasing to You and think only those thoughts are honouring to Your name. I ask this in the name of Jesus,
Amen.
Heavenly Father, we know that You are the Lord and God Who appoints and removes those in authority. Father, we bring before You our own nations and pray that You would raise up and put down those men and women in our own nation that will further Your plans and purposes in our nation and throughout the wider international perspective.
Give wisdom we pray, to all those that You have appointed to be the governors and rulers of our own nation in particular and throughout the whole world in general. Give us wisdom to understand the times in which we live, and prepare us for all that we may have to face in the in foreseeable future.
Loving Lord, we know that there are many places of darkness and wickedness. Many nations that have adopted an anti-God agenda and that many of Your children are living in nations that are facing severe persecution and dangers. Thank You, that He that is in us is greater than he that is in the world, and we pray for all our brothers and sisters throughout the nations that are facing any from or persecution, because of the faith in Jesus Christ. Give them courage and uphold each one with the power of You might right hand.
Lord, we know that the nations in general and the leaders that You have placed in control are for the most part turning their backs on the true and living Way, and progressing the people in their lands down a path towards Your wrath and their destruction.
Look down in pity on all peoples throughout the nations. Search the hearts of all people we pray, and draw those that are seeking You into a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Pity the people of the nations, and we pray that despite the mounting grief and tragedy in so many places on earth, that Your will be done, and that You would save many people form the jaws of death and destruction by the might of Your power. Lord, You are our God and we trust You. Shall not the God of all the world do right? Yes indeed, praise Your holy name,
Amen.
Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for my precious children. Give me wisdom Lord as I seek in Your strength to raise them to know the truth of Your Word.
Help me never to hold my children too tightly to myself or develop an attitude of parental selfishness, but help me to equip them to become men and women of God who develop an attitude of responsibility, wisdom and faithfulness to You, as they develop and grow older and take up their own positions in the world.
Lord, I commit my children into Your keeping. I love them so dearly, yet I know that Your love for each of my children far exceeds the love that I could have. Keep them I pray, under the shadow of Your protective wings. May the Holy Spirit lead them and guide them into all truth, and may they grow in grace and mature in the faith of Christ Jesus.
I ask this in the name of the Lord Jesus,
Amen.
Lord, give me a fresh understanding that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge. Help me to know more of Jesus in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Grow my spiritual wisdom I pray O Lord. In Jesus' name,
Amen.
Lord, give Your Church and its leaders a spirit of wisdom and revelation, that we might indeed have an adequate appreciation of who You are.
Amen.
Lord, I acknowledge that You have the first and last word on all things. I bow before Your wisdom.
Amen.
Lord, how foolish I am when I trust in my own limited knowledge instead of Your infinite wisdom. Take over and be the Boss today.
Amen.
