Prayer For Knowledge And Wisdom
Heavenly Father, You have told us in Your Word that if anyone lacks the knowledge and wisdom that we need, we ought to ask You in faith, because You have promised to give liberally to all who come to You, trusting Your promises.
Lord, there are so many things that I do not understand and so much that is happening in our world, that I come to You to ask for that precious gift of wisdom and knowledge. Your Word says that Your people perish for lack of knowledge, and I pray that You would supply me with all that I need to live the life that You would have me live, in spirit and truth, being as gentle as a dove but yet being as wise as a serpent.
Enlighten my understanding and provide me with the knowledge that I need each day, so that I can step out into the future, confident that I am in Your will. Lord, I just ask that You provide what I need day by day, trusting You to oversee all my choices and praying that You would guide me along my life-path, to Your praise and glory.
As I search the scriptures daily, I pray that You would teach me Your ways and empower me to stand firm in the evil day, knowing that Your grace is sufficient for every eventuality that I may have to face. Thank You in Jesus' name,
Amen.
Dear Heavenly Father, I pray that you would give me a discerning heart, an honest and true heart that seeks to put You first in all things, a heart of understanding and a genuine desire for a deeper knowledge of You.
Lord, it is my desire that I walk worthy in You and that I may know You more and love You better. Give me thirst for Your Word of truth, for in it is life and heath and wholeness, and reading it and applying it will help me live a life that is holy unto the Lord, a life that is separated from the ways of the world.
Give me the strength, the courage and the power to make the right choices in my life and guide my thoughts by the power of Your Holy Spirit each day. Lord, I know that You desire truth in the inward parts and I pray that You would mould the inner secrets of my heart to be laid bare before You, so that I may grow in grace and in a knowledge of the Lord Jesus as I draw ever closer to You day by day. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
Loving Lord, I desire to learn more of You and have a heart and mind that is focussed upon Jesus. I long to grow in grace and in a knowledge of Him, and so I pray that You would develop in me a deep desire to diligently study Your Word and learn to apply the truths and principles within my own life, to Your praise and glory.
But Father, I don't just want to have a head knowledge of biblical statistics, but a heart knowledge of biblical truth and godly love. I want to live my life in a way that is pleasing to You, and be used by You as a witness to Your grace and goodness, as a living sacrifice, wholly acceptable unto You.
Help me to read and retain all that I learn from Your Word, and may I learn to live like the Lord Jesus, in total dependence upon You, to Your praise and glory. This I ask in Jesus' name,
Amen.
Heavenly Father, how precious to know that You are our God. Lord, I just want to know You more and to love You better. It is the yearning of my heart to know more of You and to grow closer to You with every passing day.
As I read Your Word and study the Scriptures, I pray that You would help me to embrace all that You would teach me and I ask that You would develop in me a teachable spirit, which is quick to hear Your voice speaking to me and ready and willing to respond to the gentle promptings of the Holy Spirit in my heart.
It says in Your Word that Your people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, and Lord, I pray that You would help me to read, mark, learn and inwardly digest all that You would teach me in the Scriptures, for I want to be able to give an answer for the hope that is in me, and I desire to share the truth of the glorious gospel of grace with all I meet. Into Your hands I give my life, and pray that I may live each day to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name,
Amen.
O Lord,
You are my sat nav,
A voice to guide my way.
Such help on every journey,
Within my heart you reign.
You are my compass,
You lead me where to go.
Even when the path is dim,
Your truth lights all I know.
You are my lighthouse.
In the high seas and storms,
I do not fear the rocks of life,
Your love light keeps me warm.
Amen.
Lord of heaven and earth,
I pray that as I search for knowledge in study that I would discover divine treasure.
May I be able to sift through all I read to find the gems of your kingdom.
Lord, I long not for the wisdom that leads to power or fortune but the wisdom that leads to faith and love.
Guide my pathway as I thirst for your truths.
May I drink from your word and pour out this heavenly water on others,
Your water of life, faith, hope, truth and love,
Into the hearts and lives of all I meet.
Amen.
Lord God,
We come before you,
And desire that our lives to be like an open book.
Come write your story of love across every page,
May we hear your voice of guidance in all we do.
We trust that with you we will always see the way ahead,
May our every move be at one with your will.
We know that you protect us, and keep us as we travel.
Come reveal to us all that we need to see along the way,
As we journey on this incredible adventure with you.
Amen.
Holy Father, you who are all-knowing and wise, teach me your ways. I seek your wisdom and insight, I want to have knowledge and understanding. I seek your wisdom, so I can walk in the path you lay before me, knowing right from wrong, protecting against temptation and deceit. Fill me with your knowledge, O Lord, so I may walk in the straight and narrow path, in faithfulness to follow you. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
