Asking God for Wisdom

📖 James 1:5 (NKJV)

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”

My Dear Children,
God knows that we face many decisions every day. That is why He invites us to ask Him for wisdom. Wisdom is not just knowledge. It is the ability to make the right choices in the right way.

The Bible teaches in Proverbs 2:6 that “the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.” This means true wisdom comes from God, not just from experience or opinion.

In 1 Kings 3:9, Solomon asked God for wisdom to lead well, and God was pleased with his request. This shows us that asking for wisdom is something that honors God.

Relevance to Life and Family
Children make decisions at school, in friendships, and in behavior. Parents make decisions that affect the whole family. When we ask God for wisdom, He helps us choose what is right.

A family that seeks God’s wisdom avoids many unnecessary mistakes.
