Jehovah Nissi, night departs and day arrives. As I go out into the world fulfilling Your will for my life, I ask that You keep me out of harm’s way. Lead the way.
Oh Heavenly Father, guide me accordingly. Shape me and mold me into a better person. As I draw near to You, may I understand Your teachings and apply them to my life.

Help me to understand Jesus Christ, and the way in which He lived His life, so that I can follow in His precious footsteps.

Have you asked God for wisdom or knowledge in prayer? King Solomon was noted as being one of the wisest men that ever lived. The true wisdom that came from Solomon was his prayer to God asking for an understanding mind. Solomon asked for knowledge and God gave it to him!

These Bible verses are about knowledge, wisdom and discernment. They are just a small sample of the number of Bible verses and readings you can find on this subject.

Biblical Example of Praying for Wisdom- Solomon
1 Kings 3:5-12 At Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night, and God said, “Ask what I shall give you.” And Solomon said, “You have shown great and steadfast love to your servant David my father, because he walked before you in faithfulness, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart toward you. And you have kept for him this great and steadfast love and have given him a son to sit on his throne this day. And now, O LORD my God, you have made your servant king in place of David my father, although I am but a little child. I do not know how to go out or come in. And your servant is in the midst of your people whom you have chosen, a great people, too many to be numbered or counted for multitude. Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, that I may discern between good and evil, for who is able to govern this your great people?” It pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked this. And God said to him, “Because you have asked this, and have not asked for yourself long life or riches or the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern what is right, behold, I now do according to your word. Behold, I give you a wise and discerning mind, so that none like you has been before you and none like you shall arise after you.

The ultimate ground of faith and knowledge is confidence in God. ~ Charles Hodge

Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge, Prudence, Intelligence and Spirituality.
Wisdom is Insight. The ability to see into the underlying nature of a thing and to discern it’s true essence. To see something for what it really is. To look past appearance into substance. To read between the lines. To know the truth of a matter.
Intelligence is how well one thinks, which is dependent on how much one knows. The more wisdom, understanding and knowledge you have, the more intelligent you are. True Intelligence is not just academic, factual, worldly or social intelligence alone. True intelligence is encompassing of all intelligences.
Understanding is knowing the meaning or reason of a thing. It is about knowing why something is, and how it is so.
Prudence is foresight. The ability to see into the future of thing and to know the possible outcomes and its effect. It enables you to make decisions ahead of time that will lead things in the direction you want them to go.
Knowledge is the substance that wisdom, intelligence, understanding and prudence operate with. It isn’t just the amount you know. How a specific knowledge works with everything else you know determines whether it strengthens or weakens your wisdom, understanding and prudence.
All wisdom, understanding, knowledge and prudence increases your ability to know what is going on.
The more you can stay aware of how your mind creates your reality and environment, the more CONSCIOUS and AWARE you can become. Which will in turn lets you take back control over yourself and every area of your life.
Spirituality is about beingness. It is about the essence of who you are within. When you operate from a position of beingness, you are not playing by anyone’s rules or reasons but your own. You are real and authentic.

Proverbs 30
24 There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:

26 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;
27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;

The lips of wisdom are closed, except to the ears of understanding – The Kybalion
The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so. – The Bible
Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who embrace her; those who lay hold of her will be blessed. By wisdom the LORD laid the earth’s foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place; by his knowledge the deeps were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew.
If a man’s credibility is to be judged, it should be according to the wisdom of his words and not by any institutionalized qualifications.
Pr 12:8 A man shall be commended according to his wisdom.
