A Scripture and a Prayer: “Heavenly Wisdom”

“The wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.” (James 3:17)

Prayer:

Lord, seeing what is happening in this world, we need less of it and more of You. Instead, we need the wisdom from above, Your wisdom, the wisdom of heaven and not the wisdom of this world, which You point out is mainly filled with jealousy and selfishness. Give to us Your wisdom, wisdom that is pure, peace-loving, considerate, submissive to Your will and way and that is full of grace and mercy. And help us to think upon what is true, honorable, pure, lovely, commendable, and whatever is excellent and worthy of praise. And this we ask in Jesus’s name. AMEN
