Heavenly Father, Eternal Source of all wisdom,
I approach Your throne with reverence, awe, and faith, lifting my voice to the God who gives wisdom liberally and without reproach (James 1:5).
Lord, I acknowledge that wisdom is the principal thing (Prov 4:7). As I seek, ask, and knock, let Your supernatural wisdom descend on me and all who hunger for it—pure, peaceable, gentle, full of mercy, unwavering and without hypocrisy (James 3:17).
O God of righteousness, just as You endowed Bezalel, Aholiab, Joseph, Daniel, and the Hebrew men with exceptional wisdom for craft, governance, revelation, and counsel, so impart to me wisdom from above, wisdom ordained before the ages for glory.
Let me manifest a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You (Eph 1:17).
Father, overshadow every reliance on human or worldly wisdom, which is but foolishness before You (1 Cor 3:19).
Destroy every demonic wisdom—envy, self-seeking, sorcery, and deception—by the power of Your truth and light in my life (James 3:13-15; Isa 47:12-15).
Lord, clothe me with all the elements and benefits of wisdom:
Give me discretion to make right choices in every area of my life, in marriage, work, relationships, stewardship, and ministry (Prov 8:12).
Let excellent things flow from my lips and actions, that I would reflect the glory and greatness of Your Name, Your power, and Your lovingkindness
Guide me in all right things—cause me to do what is right in Your eyes and to walk in Your statutes like David, Joshua, and the righteous men of old
Father, may my life be rooted and grounded in truth. Let truth sanctify, shield, preserve, and liberate me
Bring me into prudence, granting both common sense and supernatural intuition as You did with Jethro, Nehemiah, Paul, and Jesus Himself
Grant me knowledge that is both practical and spiritual
knowledge of Your will, knowledge of Christ, and knowledge of the deep things of God (Col 1:9-10; Eph 1:17; Phil 3:8).
May I increase in the fear of the Lord, for this is the beginning of wisdom and understanding
Teach me to walk circumspectly, redeeming the time, discerning and understanding what the will of the Lord is
Empower me with the capacity to influence change, to win souls, and to shine as a beacon of righteousness (Prov 11:30).
Give me understanding and discernment, that I may know the times and the seasons and judge with the mind of Christ
Let obedience become my default response, that I would be likened to the wise man who builds on the rock (Matt 7:24).
Instill in me holy opposition to evil, kingdom strength, and the power to overcome, build, and restrain
Grant me a heart that is teachable, open to counsel and correction (Prov 9:8-9), that I may grow in wisdom, satisfaction, honor, security, wealth, promotion, happiness, health, longevity, rulership, deliverance, craftsmanship, victory, meekness, and glory
Enable me to dismantle strongholds by Your wisdom (Prov 21:22), being filled with the gentle works and restraint that wisdom brings
Lord, draw me daily to the feet of Jesus—the embodiment of divine wisdom —that I may be filled with all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
As wisdom calls aloud outside, let my heart respond, let me enter through the Door, stand on the heights, and walk the better path, shining as light in darkness.
Finally, Father, as Solomon asked, I too ask You for wisdom and knowledge above all else. Satisfy me early with understanding, secure me with discretion, cause my days to overflow with peace, purpose, and prudence.
May I walk with the wise and be made wise, study Your Word, heed Your instruction, and live uprightly—receiving the crown of glory, the ornament of grace, and the fullness of life in Christ Jesus.
I receive it now, by faith, in the matchless Name of Jesus.
Amen.
