Personal Prayer
Praise God for choosing the foolish things of the world to shame the wise and the weak things to shame the strong (1 Cor. 1:27). Thank God that your salvation does not depend on your wisdom but on his grace alone (Eph. 2:8-9). Confess your self-sufficiency (Lk. 16:11-13). Commit yourself to doing what the Lord requires of you to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God (Mic. 6:8). Ask God to show you clearly the depth of the riches of wisdom and knowledge of God (Rom. 11:33).
For Your Family and Friends
Pray for family members who live outside the family of God. Ask that they will come to know the wisdom of God found only in Christ Jesus.
For the Church
Pray that your church leaders will show God’s wisdom by their godly lives and deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom (Jas. 3:13).
For the Kingdom
Pray for godly wisdom to be given in great abundance to leaders of worldwide mission agencies. Pray that they will be kept from making wrong choices as they seek to advance God’s kingdom throughout the earth.
For People to Know Jesus
Ask that God will clearly show you the place he would have you serve so that you might be an effective witness to the unsaved (Eph. 5:1).
