                                                                        Wisdom for the Asking

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
                                                                                          ~ James 1:5

  "If any of you lack wisdom. There is no "if" in the matter, for I am sure I lack it. What do I know? How can I guide my own way? How can I direct others? Lord, I am a mass of folly, and wisdom I have none.
  You say, "Let him ask of God." Lord, I now ask. Here at Your footstool, I ask to be furnished with heavenly wisdom for this day's perplexities and simplicities; for I know I may do very stupid things even in plain matters, unless You keep me out of mischief.

  I have only to pray in faith, and You will give me wisdom! Lord, I thank You for that positive and expressive word, "It will be given him." I believe it. You will guide me with Your counsel, and afterwards, receive me to glory."
