Prayer 3: All the Wisdom You Need

Do you need wisdom? God will give it to you.

Anytime you need wisdom, you don't have to fear that God will ignore your need. He never ignores the heartfelt cry of His children! And as the Fount and Source of all godly wisdom in the universe, He is willing and eager to pour His wisdom out on you right now.

All you have to do is ask in faith.

In James 1:5-8, God gives us two conditions for receiving wisdom:

1. We must ask Him for the wisdom we need; and
2. We must ask in faith, with no doubting.

If you doubt, you won't receive anything from the Lord. The Bible says in Hebrews 11:6 that, without faith, it is impossible to please God!

However, as long as you believe that He will give you wisdom when you ask, our Father will give you all the wisdom you need for every situation you're facing.

Pray this prayer for God's wisdom today:

"Dear Heavenly Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus Christ, my Savior. Thank You that Your Word is true. I praise You today, for You are a faithful God, and You always keep Your promises.

Abba Father, Your Word says in James 1:5-8 that You will give me wisdom when I ask You for it. Therefore, please give me wisdom right now. Show me what to do in this situation I'm facing. Help me to know exactly what Your will is, and keep me on Your straight and narrow path.

Thank You, Lord God. I believe that You are giving me Your wisdom in this very moment, for I am asking in faith—and You always watch over Your Word to perform it. I give You the praise and glory. In Jesus' holy name, I pray, amen."
