If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.
James 1:5 NLT
It’s better to trust in the Lord.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.
Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
Proverbs 3:5-7 NASB2020
Trust in the Lord. Rely on the Holy Spirit. Let the One who created the universe guide you in your daily life. He knows what’s best in any and every circumstance. He is your loving Father in Heaven. He wants you to be on His winning team forever.
If you don’t know what to do, ask God.
If you don’t know what to say, ask God.
If you need wisdom for life, ask God.
But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind.
Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do.
James 1:6-8 NLT
Double-minded people go nowhere. They are unstable in everything they do. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world.
Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you.
For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world.
And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.
1 John 2:15-17 NLT
True wisdom comes from God.
If you need wisdom, ask God and He will give it to you.

Father in Heaven, You are the source of all knowledge, wisdom and understanding. Nothing is hidden from You. Give us wisdom to live our remaining days well. May we walk in wisdom and bring You glory all the days of our lives. Amen.
Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding. For wisdom is more profitable than silver, and her wages are better than gold. Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her.
