Remember the LORD in everything you do, and he will show you the right way.

I love those who love me; whoever looks for me can find me.

So give me the wisdom I need to rule your people with justice and to know the difference between good and evil. Otherwise, how would I ever be able to rule this great people of yours?"

and so he said to him, "Because you have asked for the wisdom to rule justly, instead of long life for yourself or riches or the death of your enemies,

And may the LORD your God give you insight and wisdom so that you may govern Israel according to his Law.

Teach me your ways, O LORD; make them known to me.

Teach me to live according to your truth, for you are my God, who saves me. I always trust in you.

Explain your law to me, and I will obey it; I will keep it with all my heart.

You created me, and you keep me safe; give me understanding, so that I may learn your laws.

I am your servant; give me understanding, so that I may know your teachings.

Let my cry for help reach you, LORD! Give me understanding, as you have promised.

As bad as you are, you know how to give good things to your children. How much more, then, will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"

and ask the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, to give you the Spirit, who will make you wise and reveal God to you, so that you will know him.

I ask that your minds may be opened to see his light, so that you will know what is the hope to which he has called you, how rich are the wonderful blessings he promises his people,

But if any of you lack wisdom, you should pray to God, who will give it to you; because God gives generously and graciously to all.
