If anyone asks how they may pray for me, my response is, “Strength and wisdom.” Many have thought that it is just a generic prayer request that I share. Well, maybe, but it is honestly what I need each and every day.
My health conditions have stacked themselves like a Jenga puzzle. Managing them all daily takes both strength and wisdom. One wrong move and the stack falls. It seems to take quite awhile to restack them. Do you ever feel this way?
James 1:5 states, “5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.”
Proverbs 2:6, “6 For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.”
Wait, you say, does the Lord mean we can ask Him about how to manage conditions each day? Yes! I believe He does. He is a wonderful Father who wants to help.
Each day, it takes relying on His wisdom and His strength to walk through the day as best we can. This is not a guarantee that we will have wonderful, perfect help, but that He will help us have wisdom to manage what we need to manage.
What do you need wisdom for today? Take it to our Savior. He will help you.
