Turning Wounds Into Wisdom: A Nighttime Prayer


1x
I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence . . - Proverbs 8:12

Please Pray:

Father God, with You alone is true wisdom found. And though I hear it calling and want to receive it, my emotions still imprison me to wounds I can’t seem to heal. Lord, pour Your healing balm of understanding and reason into the broken places in my heart. Heal the hurts so that I might gain the wisdom that is from You. May Your words always guide me as the true source of reason and understanding, and may I walk in wisdom always. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
