Personal Prayer
Give glory and honor to God as one whose wisdom and knowledge are too vast and deep ever to be grasped by the human mind. Thank the Father for having revealed himself in human, finite form in his Son, Jesus (Jn. 14:7). Confess the times during this week when you have failed to look to Jesus for help in understanding the Father’s heart and mind. Commit yourself daily to prayer for this understanding (Eph. 1:17). Ask God to open the eyes of your heart as you look to Jesus and study his life and words in the gospels.

For Your Family and Friends
Commit your immediate family members to the wisdom of God, remembering that God’s ways are past understanding and claiming that God will work all things for their good (Rom. 8:28).

For the Church
Pray that your church education teachers will not limit God’s Word to simple formulas but will also teach children awe at the splendor, glory, and unsearchable wisdom of God in Jesus.

For the Kingdom
Pray for those who speak of God’s Word on the radio and television, that they may clearly present the wisdom of the cross to those whose minds are darkened (1 Cor. 2:11-14).

For People to Know Jesus
Ask for wisdom in explaining the cross of Christ to an unsaved friend or acquaintance this week.
