Prayer from James 3:17-18

Father, give me this wisdom that embodies who You are.  May I be able to recognize Your wisdom by its quality.  By its purity.  May I be able to see Your wisdom in the peace of mind You give.  Help me to look for that and think of the ways You may be giving peace of mind in certain situations.  May I recognize Your wisdom in the ways it gently asserts itself.  Its not pushy or aggressive.  Help me to know when I'm inserting my wisdom instead of Yours.  Godly wisdom considers the interests of others.  If I think I'm under the influence of Your wisdom, but don't want to listen to my fellow brother or sister, may I be checked by Your Spirit.  May Your wisdom leave a trail of hope in whatever situations I find myself in.

Amen

James 3:17-18 NIV

But 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.  Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.
