Pray for Wisdom from GOD
How may I have wisdom?
"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." Jam 1:5
"But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed". Jam 1:6
"Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honor, when thou dost embrace her. She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee." Prov. 4:7- 9.
" Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her." Prov 3:13-15
"For the Lord giveth wisdom." Prov. 2:6.
What does this asking involve?
"But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering: for he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord." James 1:6, 7.
How will I know that I am beginning to have wisdom?
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do His commandments: His praise endureth forever." Ps. 111:10.
What has Jesus promised to me if I will keep His words?
"If a man love Me, he will keep My words: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him." John 14:23.
What among other things, will the Spirit of God do for me?
"But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit; for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God." 1 Cor. 2:10.
What is included in these "deep things?"
"O Lord, how great are Thy works! and Thy thoughts are very deep." Ps. 92:5.
How far may I hope to know the mind of God regarding himself?
"Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God." Rom. 12:2.
How will he appear who has been thus honored of God?
"Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed." Eccl. 8:1.
Are there two different kinds of wisdom?
"Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect; yet not the wisdom of this world... But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory." 1 Cor. 2:6, 7.
"For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God." 1 Cor. 3:19.
"But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy." James 3:17.
