A prayer for strength and wisdom

We often times find ourselves in need of strength and wisdom. Strength alone helps if you know your goals and the tasks ahead of you. But some times you might find yourself where you don’t have the strength AND you don’t know where your efforts are best spend. Today’s prayer asks for God’s help with both of these.

Prayer for Strength and Wisdom

God, Creator of the Universe,

You bless us with life, health, the ability to make decisions, people who love us, and so much more. You’ve freely given us so much and yet you still listen each time I pray.

Father please give me strength. Strengthen me, my body, my mind, and my heart so that I can do more, think more, and love more deeply. Give me a courageous spirit that isn’t held back by my weaknesses, but is long lasting.

Please give me wisdom like you gave your servant Solomon. Give me a mind so full of wisdom that I can discern clearly the consequences of my choices. Also help me to be aware of situations so I can identify when crucial decisions need to be made and have the confidence to make the right ones.

Father as I go forward, please make me strong and wise. Equip me with the tools necessary to do your will and be a positive reflection of you.

If it be your will, give me strength and wisdom in such quantities that people notice it is you working through me. Allow me to be a person who people come to for support and advice. Allow me to be a person who can impart strength and wisdom on other people.

God please forgive me where I have failed you, this all I pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Throughout Scripture we are reminded of God’s direction over our lives. He is our good Shepherd who leads us and He desires that we follow the path that leads to joy and contentment.  When we pray for God’s guidance and for discernment through the Holy Spirit, we can rest assured that God will provide wisdom! We do not have to worry about our next step or about tomorrow because we know who guides our way! Do not rush your day without going before God to seek guidance!

Prayer for Guidance from the Holy Spirit

Lord, I pray you would move the Spirit more boldly in my life. I know that any sin can grieve and diminish the voice of the Spirit, and I pray against the temptation to sin. Help me crave your presence more than I crave sin. Help me grow in the fruit of the Spirit and so walk closer with Yourself. I pray for guidance from your Spirit- let your will and promises always be a meditation of my heart. In Jesus’ Name, Amen

A Prayer for Guidance When Life is Challenging

Lord, I’m here today with open hands and an open heart, ready to depend on you to help me through the day and all it will bring my way. Help me be like Nehemiah, help me come to you for guidance, strength, provision and protection. As I face tough choices and hard situations, help me remember my belovedness, help me remember that I am Your child and Your representative to the world around me. Help me live today in a way that brings honor to Your holy name. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Prayer for Guidance in the Day Ahead 

Good morning, Lord! Today’s a new day, a chance for a new start. Yesterday is gone and with it any regrets, mistakes, or failures I may have experienced. It’s a good day to be glad and give thanks, and I do, Lord. Thank you for today, a new opportunity to love, give, and be all that you want me to be.

Today I want to start the day with you on my mind and in my heart. As I dress, let me wear the armor you’ve provided daily: the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the shield of faith, the belt of truth, the shoes of peace, and the sword of the spirit—with prayer on my tongue: praise for you and petitions for those around me and those I meet.

Feed me today with your daily bread. As the Bread of Life, your food, like manna, will sustain me throughout any trials and hungers. Help me to set my thoughts on things above and to speak only what will help and encourage others. Keep me from putting my foot in my mouth, and help me guard the affections of my heart today, Lord. Make whatever work I do be marked with excellence rather than perfectionism, as I seek not to make a name, but to make a difference. Help me to treat each person I encounter as you would, with respect and love, forgiving others and asking for forgiveness myself when needed.

As I start this day, help me remember that I belong to you, and my desire is to act accordingly. Keep my feet from stumbling and my mind from wandering into distractions that could steal precious time and energy from the most important things you have designed for me. I’m proud to be your child, Lord. And I’m so grateful that you died for me—rising again on your own new morning—so that every day could be filled with the wonder of your love, the freedom of your Spirit, and the joy of knowing you.

I know earthly life is short and fleeting, Lord. But I want to live today as if it were the first or the last day of my life, giving thanks for every good and perfect gift you choose to give. Today, and every day, I want to live my life for you, Jesus. In your precious name, Amen.

A Prayer for Discernment and Wisdom When You Need God’s Direction

Lord, thank You for the people You have divinely placed in my life who speak holy truth, love and words of wisdom. Give me a heart of discernment to know when You are using someone to speak instruction into my heart and my circumstances, and give me the strength and courage to follow through with that advice, even when it’s hard. Fill me with peace in knowing that even if I take a wrong turn, Your purpose will prevail. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
– Tracie Miles

Dear Heavenly Father,

I need your help to keep me strong as I walk through this change of season in my life. I strongly believe in your promises and my faith is secure. But Lord, as my wilderness thickens and my trails are riddled with obstacles, the strength it takes to follow becomes more and more intense. My body is weakening, my mind in sorrow, and spirit no longer brisk. I know that the enemy has caught me in my weakened state and is trying to capture me in my moments of weakness. Lord, grant me the strength I need to fight these attacks, the wisdom to know Your voice is calling and open ears and heart to hear You, and the courage to remain in faith and always remember you are at my side protecting me and guiding me.

In Jesus’ name….. Amen.
