          Heavenly Father, You have said that "if any lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him" so we ask and receive of You wisdom for this day.

          We are grateful to have wisdom, discernment, and knowledge for every decision we make. Guide us in all decisions. Give us answers and solutions. May we seek Your heart and make no decisions outside of Your will.

          Give us strength so that we will not grow weary. For Your grace is sufficient. Give us humility so we would not lose our way. Give us favor that we might be united as we walk in the center of Your will.

          Now may the grace of our Lord and the love of God be with us all.

          To You be the glory, both now and forever, in the name of Your Son we pray. Amen.
