A Cry For Wisdom
James 1:5–8 (NLT)
5 If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.
6 But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind.
7 Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
8 Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do.
I need your wisdom Lord, and I trust you to reveal it to me. I trust you to lead me and guide me. I trust you, Lord. I need your wisdom, and I need your perseverance and your endurance. I realize that I can’t know the details of the road in front of me, I have to walk by faith and not by sight. I just need your assurance that I’m in your will, that I’m making your decisions.
My faith is in you alone, wholeheartedly. Help me not waver or have divided desires. My desire is for your will. I thank you for the steadfastness you’ve given me Lord, but I need it more. I need your peace and your assurance.
I will trust you with all my heart, I will not depend on my own understanding. Help me to seek you every day, for every step. As I seek you for every decision, I will trust you to set my path before me, leading me and guiding me for your name's sake. And I will be content there. Thank you Jesus. Amen.
