a prayer for wisdom in prayer

 

Father God, here I am. You know the hopes and dreams I have for the future. You know the problems I am currently facing, and the struggles I’ve already overcome. All of it was by Your Power and Love. 

You are with me, and You are for me-- You are not against me; You do not seek to oppose me. You want us to be a team, cooperating in mutual love, in righteousness and truth. You are my friend. 

Even if You say "no" to what I may be begging for, please help me to realize and BELIEVE wholeheartedly that You only refuse what, ultimately, would harm my soul. Help me to trust in Your perfect judgment, and surrender willingly to it. 

Lord God, I implore You, for Your sake and Your glory, please give me the grace of true humility & wisdom, to know what Your Will is in the difficult choices of my life, and to promptly & enthusiastically obey.
Please align my will with Yours as I bring my requests to You today. 

 In Jesus’ name, Amen.
