Wisdom

Asking for Wisdom

"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally."
James 1:5

Reflection

God does not get annoyed when we do not know. He gives wisdom freely to whoever asks, without complaining.

Prayer

Lord, give me wisdom for today. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. What do you need wisdom for today?
  2. How does God react when we ask for wisdom?
  3. Have you ever asked God to help you decide something?

5-minute activity

Starting the month of wisdom, each person writes on a slip of paper a decision or situation where they need wisdom. Pray over each one and keep the slips to look at again at the end of the month. Read James 1:5.
