第二十九天 寻求智慧与洞察力

第二十九天 寻求智慧与洞察力

为儿子祷告

主啊，我祷告求你赐给我的儿子×××智慧、洞察力和启示的恩赐，帮助他全心信赖你，不依恃自己的聪明，在所行的一切事上认定你。使他听见你清楚的指引，明白该走哪一条道路(参箴3：5～6)，帮助他能分辨善恶，并敏锐于圣灵所说：“这是正路，你要行在其中”(参赛30：21)的声音。我知道他生命中的许多快乐都有赖于拥有智慧与洞察力，而这些快乐也正是你在经上所说的长寿、财富、认可、保护、欢乐、满足与幸福。我很希望他能拥有一切，但一切都要是来自你所赐予的祝福。圣经上说："敬畏耶和华是智慧的开端；认识至圣者便是聪明。"(箴 9:10)愿智慧与洞察力都在他生命中被建造于这样的根基上——敬畏并认识你。

愿他做一切决定时都能转向你，好使他不做出拙劣的决定。帮助他明白，所有智慧和知识的宝藏都隐藏在你的里面，而当我们向你祈求时，你便白白地赐下。当他向你寻求智慧和洞察力的时候，主啊，求你慷慨地将这一切倾倒在他身上，好使他行经的一切路径都充满了平安与活力。

Lord, I pray that You would give the gifts of wisdom, discernment, and revelation to my son ***. Help him to trust You with all his heart, not depending on his own understanding, but acknowledging You in all his ways so that he may hear Your clear direction as to which path to take (Proverbs 3:5). Help him to discern good from evil and be sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit saying, "This is the way, walk in it" (Isaiah 30:21). I know that much of his happiness in life depends on gaining wisdom and discernment, which Your Word says brings long life, wealth, recognition, protection, enjoyment, contentment, and happiness. I want all those things for him, but I want them to come as blessings from You.

Your Word says, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding" (Proverbs 9:10).  May a healthy fear and knowledge of You be the foundation upon which wisdom and discernment are established in him. May he turn to You for all decisions so that he doesn't make poor choices. Help him to see that all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in You and that You give of them freely when we ask for them. As he seeks wisdom and discernment from You, Lord, pour it liberally upon him so that all his paths will be peace and life.

为女儿祷告

主啊，我祷告求你赐给我的女儿×××智慧、洞察力和启示的恩赐，帮助她全心信赖你，不依恃自己的聪明，在所行的一切事上认定你。使她听见你清楚的指引，明白该走哪一条道路(参箴3：5～6)，帮助她能分辨善恶，并敏锐于圣灵所说：“这是正路，你要行在其中”(参赛30：21)的声音。我知道她生命中的许多快乐都有赖于拥有智慧与洞察力，而这些快乐也正是你在经上所说的长寿、财富、认可、保护、欢乐、满足与幸福。我很希望她能拥有一切，但一切都要是来自你所赐予的祝福。圣经上说："敬畏耶和华是智慧的开端；认识至圣者便是聪明。"(箴 9:10)愿智慧与洞察力都在她生命中被建造于这样的根基上——敬畏并认识你。
