The Sovereign LORD has given me his words of wisdom,
so that I know how to comfort the weary.
Morning by morning he wakens me
and opens my understanding to his will.—Isaiah 50:4 (NLT)
Sovereign LORD,
Thank You that morning by morning You awaken me and stand ready to open my understanding to Your will—giving me Your words of wisdom, so that I know how to comfort the weary.
With each new day that comes, You are always faithful to reveal to me a deeper understanding of Your will—when I spend time prayerfully searching for those ever richer revelations from Your Word.
As I abide in Your Presence, You show me how to use the words of wisdom that You have revealed to comfort those who are struggling around me—so that when prompted by Your Holy Spirit, I will be ready to accept Your invitation to be a part of the work that You are doing in others, to draw them to Yourself.
Never let me stop seeking You—through Your Word and through prayer—as You reveal Your character and Your will to me. And make me a vessel that Your words of wisdom can flow through, so that all those around me can be comforted by the richness of Christ’s love for us all.
Thank You that morning by morning You awaken me and stand ready to open my understanding to Your will—giving me Your words of wisdom, so that I know how to comfort the weary.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
