Day 9 – Most Wise 

READ

Romans 16:27
to the only wise God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ! Amen.

James 3:17-18
17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. 18 And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

PRAY

• You tell us in James to ask for wisdom, so, right now, we ask for Your wisdom.
• We confess that we think ourselves wise in our own eyes, and we fail to seek Your guidance. Forgive us.
• In Your wisdom, Lord,
  • Guide our nation’s leaders at every level: at the local, state, and national levels. Unify the different political parties and remind us that the enemy is the virus, not those who have different opinions than we do.
  • Guide our churches so that we will know how to care for Your people as we seek to minister in our communities, as we seek to be a light on a hilltop that draws people into a relationship with You. Help us to connect and instruct virtually so that our community is deepened as we seek to love without infecting each other.
  • Guide our educators as they seek to instruct and educate children from afar.
  • Guide our world leaders as they close borders, martial a wise response, and try to protect their populations. Lord, provide the resources they need to minister to the weakest in their populations.
  • Guide us, as individuals, businesses, doctors and hospitals, governments, and churches that we will learn from this pandemic and put procedures and protocols in place should the need arise again.
