Praying God’s Word Wednesday #21

August 25, 2021 by Lauren 6 Comments

The wisdom of God fills my thoughts lately – especially in contrast to the foolishness we see in the world on a daily basis.  My deepest desire is for myself and my loved ones to walk in God’s wisdom daily.  Or better yet, minutely!  (#notarealword)

 

Today’s prayer comes from Proverbs Chapter 8, which has been described as Wisdom Personified. 

Wisdom is the person of Jesus Christ.  There is no other knowledge or moral code above Him.  True wisdom can only come from Him.

When we seek Him, we find her.  (Proverbs refers to wisdom as “she”.)

 

For those who find me find life and receive favor from the Lord.  But those who fail to find me harm themselves; all who hate me love death.  Proverbs 8:35-36 NIV

 

Prayer:

 

 

Replace the pronouns with the appropriate ones for the person (or yourself) that you are praying for.

 

Praying for you in this.  And don’t forget to share this on social media or with a friend who could benefit.  It would mean so much to me.  And if you don’t want to miss a Praying God’s Word Wednesday, subscribe over on the right hand side of this page.

About Me

I love Jesus, my husband and caffeine. The order of these can change depending on how tired I am. When my two daughters, stepson, and 4 grandchildren get to be too much, I practice yoga. God graciously allows me to share our adventures, victories and flub-ups from my laptop. May He be glorified here.
