"Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to everyone generously without a rebuke, and it will be given to him. But he must ask in faith, without any doubts. . . " James 1:5-6 ISV
Today I am really feeling my "lack of wisdom". I am in a position of needing to provide services for others in a way that meets their needs - without fully knowing what their needs are. This morning, this verse reminds me that God DOES know their needs! And since I've been promised that He will give wisdom generously as long as I ask in faith, I see there are only two things I need to do - ask, and have faith. In fact, while I'm at it, I'm going to ask for the faith needed as I ask for wisdom!
Father, you know my situation and the challenges I face. I need Your wisdom, Father. I thank you for the guidance received thus far. You are an amazing Father, and I praise you for your love and care for me. I simply ask that I continue to receive the guidance I need as I continue to step forward into the work you have given me. Father, I know sometimes my faith wavers - not my faith in you, but somehow my faith in me to hear you clearly. But isn't even that just doubting your ability to get through to me? Father, I choose to trust you. As I go about my tasks this day, I want to do your will. If the tasks I choose are not the ones in which I should be investing my time, please decrease my desire to do them. Please increase my inclination to do what you would have me to do, that I may know your will. And please help me to set aside any personal desires that may get in the way of my hearing your voice clearly. Thank you, Father! Thank you for the work you are doing in me and your promise to see it to completion. I love you, Father!
