5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 

6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 

7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 

8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

~ James 1:5-8

Proverbs 1:7 expresses the thought in this way: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Both passages emphasize that TRUE wisdom comes from God. He holds the answers to life’s most profound questions. Therefore, if you want to gain wisdom, start by seeking answers from God and His word. Moreover, let your entire life be guided by faith in His guidance!

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. I humbly ask You to grant me the fullest measure of wisdom that I can receive from You. You have promised to give it freely and to never reprove me for asking. I trust in You and Your ability & willingness to grant my request, and I am determined to follow Your ways. I am aware that King Solomon also asked for wisdom from You, but he did not always use it wisely. Therefore, I pray that You give me a pure and tender heart, and that I use all that You grant me in a way that glorifies You and blesses others spiritually. Thank You for all the blessings in Christ, and for all that You will do in my life going forward. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
