But if anyone is deficient in wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without reprimand, and it will be given to him.

Acknowledge him in all your ways, and he will make your paths straight.

I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you spiritual wisdom and revelation in your growing knowledge of him,– since the eyes of your heart have been enlightened– so that you may know what is the hope of his calling, what is the wealth of his glorious inheritance in the saints,

Listen to my cry for help, O LORD! Give me insight by your word!

I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me.

So give your servant a discerning mind so he can make judicial decisions for your people and distinguish right from wrong. Otherwise no one is able to make judicial decisions for this great nation of yours.”The Lord was pleased that Solomon made this request.God said to him,“ Because you asked for the ability to make wise judicial decisions, and not for long life, or riches, or vengeance on your enemies,I grant your request, and give you a wise and discerning mind superior to that of anyone who has preceded or will succeed you.

I am your servant. Give me insight, so that I can understand your rules.

Give me understanding so that I might observe your law, and keep it with all my heart.

Make me understand your ways, O LORD! Teach me your paths!Guide me into your truth and teach me. For you are the God who delivers me; on you I rely all day long.

Your hands made me and formed me. Give me understanding so that I might learn your commands.

If you then, although you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

Only may the LORD give you insight and understanding when he places you in charge of Israel, so you may obey the law of the LORD your God.
