Prayer of Solomon

Lord, Solomon came before You and asked not for wealth or long life or the defeat of his enemies — he asked for a discerning heart. That is my prayer today. Give me wisdom, Lord. Give me the ability to tell right from wrong, to understand what truly matters, to navigate the complexities of life with clarity and grace. I do not want to make major decisions based on emotion or partial information. I want to see as You see and choose as You would choose. Grant me a discerning heart, and I trust that everything else I need will be added to me. In Jesus' name, Amen.
