“Happy is the man that
findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth 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 in treated, 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 the 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
