If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. 6But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone.

And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, “God is tempting me.”

So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls.

But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.

For jealousy and selfishness are not God’s kind of wisdom. Such things are earthly, unspiritual, and demonic.

But your job is to obey the law, not to judge whether it applies to you.

Lord God my Father,

Soften my heart to only be directed by you, remove my selfishness. Protect me from my own temptation and selfishness and remove it from me. Give me determination to only move in your desire. Allow your Peaceful Truth to test well and temper me to your plan. Help me to find obedience.

in Jesus name I pray,

Amen
