Solomon’s Prayer - Lord, Grant Me Wisdom

Hello everyone!!!
King Solomon had a dream that forever changed his life. He asked God to give him wisdom. Just like Solomon, God will give us wisdom when we ask Him. God Bless and have a great day in God’s Word.

In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream at night; and God said, “Ask what you wish Me to give you.” Then Solomon said, “You have shown great lovingkindness to Your servant David my father, according as he walked before You in truth and righteousness and uprightness of heart toward You; and You have reserved for him this great lovingkindness, that You have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. Now, O LORD my God, You have made Your servant king in place of my father David, yet I am but a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in. Your servant is in the midst of Your people which You have chosen, a great people who are too many to be numbered or counted. So give Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people to discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?”It was pleasing in the sight of the Lord that Solomon had asked this thing.

1 Kings 3:5-10
New American Standard Bible

Solomon asked for wisdom—“an understanding heart”—in order to lead well and to make right decisions. This, in itself, showed wisdom, and God honored Solomon’s request. Solomon became the wisest man ever and, at the moving of God’s Spirit, recorded much of his God-given insight in the book of Proverbs.

God wants to work through us, not for us. Notice that Solomon asked for understanding to carry out his job; he did not ask God to do the job for him. Ask God to give you the wisdom to know what to do and the courage to follow through on it. And remember, if you ask for wisdom, God has promised to give you all you need.
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. James 1:5
