Life throws so many decisions at us, and with the pandemic, we\u2019re even faced with some we\u2019ve never made before. Do I keep my kids in school? Is it safe to travel? Can I safely socially distance at an upcoming event? Can I plan anything<\/em> more than 24 hours in advance?<\/p>\n

All these decisions can be overwhelming and stressful, even making us feel inadequate at a time when we need calm and confidence<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But the Bible says, \u201cIf you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and He will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking\u201d (James 1:5, NLT). So, here are nine Bible prayers for wisdom\u2014whether you\u2019re worried about social distancing boundaries, a financial matter<\/a>, a job change, a relationship or a business move:<\/p>\n

1) Lord, Your Word says that \u201cthe Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding\u201d (Proverbs 2:6 NIV). You know my need for wisdom, knowledge and understanding straight from You. Please meet my need.<\/p>\n

2) Father, I want to do as Your Word says<\/a>: \u201cBe wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone\u201d (Colossians 4:5-6 NIV). I know I don\u2019t have to have all the answers, but I do want to be wise and full of grace in all I do and all I say. Help me and guide me, please.<\/p>\n

3) God, as Your Word says, \u201cEven fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues\u201d (Proverbs 17:28 NIV). Help me to know who to listen to, what to ignore and when to hold my tongue.<\/p>\n

4) Lord God, I want to be among those who \u201cknow the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge\u201d (Colossians 2:2-3, NIV). Draw me closer and closer to You, through Christ Jesus, and reveal to me, in me and through me those treasures of wisdom and knowledge, that I may walk in wisdom and not stumble in every decision I face.<\/p>\n

5) As the Bible says, Lord, \u201cthe one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper\u201d (Proverbs 19:8 NIV). Please shower wisdom and understanding on me in every decision I face.<\/p>\n

6) God, since the Bible says, \u201cTo the person who pleases Him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness\u201d (Ecclesiastes 2:26 NIV), let me please You today and every day, and supply the wisdom, knowledge and happiness I seek<\/a>.<\/p>\n

7) Father, according to Your Word, the Bible, \u201cthe wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere\u201d (James 3:17 NIV). In every decision I face, let my choices reflect that heavenly wisdom; in every path I must choose, show me those that will produce pure, peace-loving, considerate and submissive results, \u201cfull of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.\u201d<\/p>\n

8) Heavenly Father, I know that \u201cFools give full vent to their rage, but the wise bring calm in the end\u201d (Proverbs 29:11 NIV). Grant me the wisdom to see which decisions of mine will bring calm in my life and the lives of others<\/a>.<\/p>\n

9) God, I do believe the Bible when it says, \u201cBlessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding\u201d (Proverbs 3:13 NIV). Let my life\u2014and especially the choices I make today\u2014reflect Your wisdom and bring about the blessing of which Your Word speaks.<\/p>\n

Next time you are facing yet another stressful decision, I hope one of these prayers will bring you guidance and comfort<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
