Give me an understanding heart so that I can govern your people well and know the difference between right and wrong. For who by himself is able to govern this great people of yours?”
And if you follow me and obey my decrees and my commands as your father, David, did, I will give you a long life.”
God said to Solomon, “Because your greatest desire is to help your people, and you did not ask for wealth, riches, fame, or even the death of your enemies or a long life, but rather you asked for wisdom and knowledge to properly govern my people—12I will certainly give you the wisdom and knowledge you requested.
Lord God my Father,
Give me your understanding for the struggles of this world, Help me to lift them to your glory trusting in your plan. Help me to pass your blessing on to others properly.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
