Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours?”

God said to Solomon, “Since this is your heart’s desire and you have not asked for wealth, possessions or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, and since you have not asked for a long life but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you king, 12therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given you. And I will also give you wealth, possessions and honor, such as no king who was before you ever had and none after you will have.”

Praise be to the Lord God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.

Lord God my Father,

Know my heart and restore it to your design. Make me aware when I am more important than you in my thoughts. Grant me a Peace that overwhelms the struggles around me and give me a heart that longs for your way.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
