PRAYING FOR GOD'S WISDOM

PRAYING FOR GOD’S WISDOM

 

God of my ancestors, merciful Lord,

by your word you created all things.

By your wisdom you created man to rule all creation,

to govern the world with holiness and justice.

Give me wisdom that sit beside your throne;

 give me place among your children.

I am your servant as my mother was,

I am only human and weak, and my life will be short.

I have little understanding of the Law or how to apply it.

 Even if one is perfect, he will counted as nothing

 without the wisdom that comes from you.

Send her from your glorious throne, so that she may work

at my side, that I may learn what pleases you.

She knows and understand everything,

and will guide me intelligently in what I do.

Her glory will protect me, and my actions

 will be acceptable to you.                  Wisdom 9
