Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom.
Instead, fear the LORD and turn away from evil.—Proverbs 3:7 (NLT)
All-Wise Father,
Don't allow me to be impressed with my own wisdom—as though any wisdom that comes through me, could have originated from me! For You are the Holy God, only All-Wise Father, and Originator of all things—and my pride is that evil which separates me from You.
Keep me from thinking
that my own intellect or reasoning will produce any wisdom outside of You—but
let me pray, asking You to make me wise, as You reveal Your Truth to me by Your
Spirit and through Your Word.
Help me humbly and
reverently fear and worship You alone and turn my back on all that is
evil—repenting of all my sin and determining to find Your best for me—by
submitting myself to Your will, plans and purposes for my life.
Grant me the wisdom always
to seek You first, in all things, so that my life would be lived out in
Truth—both in private moments and in public moments—as a testimony to others,
all for Your glory, honor, and praise.
Don't allow me to be impressed with my own wisdom—as though any wisdom that comes through me, could have originated from me! For You are the Holy God, only All-Wise Father, and Originator of all things—and my pride is that evil which separates me from You.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
