Give Me Wisdom Lord
Today I got up earlier and just spent more time with the Lord. Like just laying on the floor of my prayer closet with instrumental music playing and allowing His presence to wash over me! 😭😭
Yes I prayed but sometimes we have to spend more time silent before him. It’s the bowing and the laying prostrate before Him that is necessary. We were MADE to worship. (Let that part sink in deep). So when we aren’t worshiping, we are not being all God made us to be. That’s like a deficiency. A vitamin W deficiency. Let’s worship more!
While praying I heard the word wisdom, then I heard wisdom like Solomon (you see how Holy Spirit guided me!!).
Two areas I am in deep prayer for today specifically is: wisdom in finances and parenting.
I went to God’s word for more.
“The reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord is the beginning (the chief and choice part) of Wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight and understanding.” — Proverbs 9:10 AMPC
“That night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, Ask what I shall give you.” — 2 Chronicles 1:7 AMPC“Give me now wisdom and knowledge to go out and come in before this people, for who can rule this Your people who are so great?
God replied to Solomon, Because this was in your heart and you have not asked for riches, possessions, honor, and glory, or the life of your foes, or even for long life, but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may rule and judge My people over whom I have made you king,
Wisdom and knowledge are granted you. And I will give you riches, possessions, honor, and glory, such as none of the kings had before you, and none after you shall have their equal.” — 2 Chronicles 1:10-12 AMPC
This stood out: Give me NOW wisdom.
Check out the NIRV translation.
“That night God appeared to Solomon. He said to him, “Ask for anything you want me to give you.”— 2 Chronicles 1:7 NIRV
“Give me wisdom and knowledge. Then I’ll be able to lead these people. Without your help, who would be able to rule this great nation of yours?”
God said to Solomon, “I am glad that those are the things you really want. You have not asked for wealth, possessions or honor. You have not even asked to have your enemies killed. You have not asked to live for a long time. Instead, you have asked for wisdom and knowledge.
You want to be able to rule my people wisely. I have made you king over them.
So wisdom and knowledge will be given to you. I will also give you wealth, possessions and honor. You will have more than any king before you ever had. And no king after you will have as much.” — 2 Chronicles 1:10-12
What did Holy Spirit say to me this morning: Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
He also highlighted these words in His Word:
Now; Give; Then I will be able to lead these people (my children and the 1 Hour Prayer Challenge Live group). I will also give you wealth.
Thank you Holy Spirit for highlighting my starting place (fear of you Lord) and also what you want me to see this morning as it relates to wisdom in my finances and parenting!!
Glory Hallelujah!!

SALVATION PRAYER
If you don’t know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior and you’re not a believer, but you have a desire to be, all you have to do is openly confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9). When you pray that prayer, you are saved. Get connected with a good, bible-based church in your community, stay connected to other believers, and start having daily conversations through prayer with God every single day. Welcome to your new life with Jesus Christ!!!
