"Wisdom and Understanding"


"Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that get understanding."
-Proverbs 3:13-

We ask that you will forgive us for our sins.  Create in us a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within us.  The fear of you is wisdom, and to depart from evil is understanding.  The fear of you is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.  The fear of you is the instruction of wisdom.  We ask that you will give us wisdom and understanding, for only you give wisdom and understanding.  There is no wisdom, nor counsel, nor understanding against you, Lord.  We know that the wisdom from above (from you) is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.  You give wisdom to those who ask.  If we lack wisdom, we can ask you, and you will give to all men liberally, and upbraided not.  We know that happy is the man that findeth wisdom and get understanding.  You told us to get wisdom and understanding, and forget them not.  We know that wisdom is the principal thing, therefore we must get it, and with all thy getting we must get understanding.  If we get wisdom it is good for our soul, and if we keep understanding, we shall find good.  Wisdom strengthens the wise, more than ten men in a city.  Our mouths shall speak of wisdom, and meditation of our hearts shall be of understanding.  You give wisdom, and out of your mouth, Lord, come knowledge and understanding.  We will seek and pursue your wisdom Lord, because the wisdom that is not from you is earthly, sensual, and devilish.  We ask for your wisdom, Lord Jesus, and we thank you for your wisdom.

Your Servants
