Life is shaped by the decisions we make every day, big and small. One wrong decision can delay destiny, while one right decision can launch a person into their God-ordained greatness. The Bible is filled with examples of men and women who made wise decisions and experienced supernatural promotion, Joseph chose righteousness over compromise, Daniel chose prayer over fear, and Solomon asked for wisdom above riches, which brought him both wealth and honor.
The enemy loves to push people into confusion, rash actions, and wrong choices that lead to regret. But God has promised to guide His children with His counsel (Psalm 32:8). When you pray for wisdom, you are asking for divine insight, clarity, and direction that is beyond human reasoning. You are inviting God to sit in the driver’s seat of your decisions so that your life aligns with His perfect will.
Today’s prayer focuses on receiving divine wisdom to make decisions that bring peace, progress, and prosperity — decisions that honor God and lead to fulfillment.
