Personal Prayer
Praise God for his wisdom—for your being in Christ Jesus who has become for you wisdom from God! (1 Cor. 1:30, 2:7). Thank God that you may have the full riches of complete understanding to know the mystery of God, namely Christ (Col. 2:2). Confess your lack of understanding. Commit yourself to being wise in the things of God, who makes the wisdom of the world look like foolishness (1 Cor. 1:19-20). Ask God to keep you from being a “wise guy” and to help you lead others to biblical wisdom.
For Your Family and Friends
Pray that God will help you avoid a “holier than thou” attitude with your family and friends (1 Cor. 4:5).
For the Church
Pray for God to give your church and its leaders a real heart for ministry and wisdom to use the resources given in the name of Christ.
For the Kingdom
Pray that Christians will cooperate to resolve many of the issues that separate, rather than unite, neighbors, communities, nations, and peoples, in the love of Jesus.
For People to Know Jesus
Pray for wisdom to show a specific act of kindness today to an unsaved neighbor.
