Prayer for Wisdom

What is wisdom? Is it something you gain through experience or does it come from God? Can you pray for wisdom?

When I was younger, my parents would often say things like, “You’ll never get anywhere without wisdom.” They meant that wise decisions are necessary for success. In other words, you need to make good choices to reach your goals.

The Bible says that wisdom comes from above (James 3:17). That means you don’t earn wisdom, you receive it directly from God. If you want to become wiser, ask Him for wisdom daily. He promises to give it to us.
