A Prayer About Wisdom

When I want what is truly best

LORD,

You told King Solomon that he could ask you for anything, and you would give it to him. He asked for wisdom—a wise choice. I’m not a king, but I do influence others, and I want to do that well. And I definitely need to know right from wrong. So I, too, pray for understanding to know what to do and also for courage and strength to do it.

Give me an understanding heart so that I can govern your people well and know the difference between right and wrong. 1 Kings 3:9
