Cry out for insight, and ask for understanding.
And may the Lord give you wisdom and understanding, that you may obey the Law of the Lord your God as you rule over Israel.
Give discernment to me, your servant; then I will understand your laws.
O Lord, listen to my cry; give me the discerning mind you promised.
Give me understanding and I will obey your instructions; I will put them into practice with all my heart.
You made me; you created me. Now give me the sense to follow your commands.
Tune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding.
Search for them as you would for silver; seek them like hidden treasures.
Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.
My children, listen when your father corrects you. Pay attention and learn good judgment,
“I love all who love me. Those who search will surely find me.
So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.”
If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.
