For Spiritual Wisdom

Asking the Almighty for wisdom, insight, knowledge, understanding, and discernment

Epaphras Prays is a newsletter about personal and intercessory praying. We encourage the People of God to pray from the Word of God for other People of God. Sign up here:

We continue to pray for all the people of God, who are the children of Almighty God, asking from the Word of God, which are His Promises to us:

From Ephesians 1:17, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give us the spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him.

Heavenly Father, we come in Jesus' name, continuing to ask, O God, our glorious Father, to give to us the Holy Spirit that we ask for, wisdom and revelation, that we may know You better.

We are asking Almighty God, for the spiritual wisdom and insight that we so desperately need.

We can gain all manner of worldly wisdom by a simple internet search, by watching videos or picking up books from the library. We need spiritual wisdom, Godly wisdom and insight that we might grow in our knowledge of Your word, our knowledge and understanding of your truth, our revelation and understanding and wisdom of good and Godly ways.

We pray oh Glorious Father, You give us the Holy Spirit. Give us more of that Holy Spirit, that good gift that you promised to those who ask.

We come and we ask, we ask, we ask in Jesus' name, O Holy God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, O Father of glory, we pray always that you would grant to us that spirit of wisdom and revelation, deep and personal, intimate insight, and a true knowledge of you, you who are our glorious Father, and we ask in the name of your Son.

Amen

From James 1:5, Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

Heavenly Father, by your Spirit we ask for this wisdom from above, which is first of all pure, then peace-loving, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere. (James 3:17)

In faith do we ask that you would give us what spiritual wisdom we need, insights into truth, knowledge of your will, understanding of the Word, and discernment to approve what is best.

We ask this in order to grow up in spiritual maturity, and so we would not get snared by what is false, or swerve into error, but remain in step with you and walk the right and narrow road.

Lord Jesus, we ask the Father who gives generously gives only good gifts to those who ask Him, we ask for these for your names’ sake and for your glory,

Amen

Add your own Amen by hitting the heart button, add your own prayer in the comments, or send this to a friend.

Most of our praying involves either personal private prayers, or intercessory praying, primarily for the people of God.
