PRAY FOR UNDERSTANDING

Jesus is the wisdom of God for all. (1 Corinthians 1:30)
Do you know Jesus? 
Jesus is the wisdom of God that is in place for all.
It is not possible to know the wisdom of God and not be having an edge in the journey of life.
Many claim to know the wisdom of God but lack the understanding to have a knowing edge.
Proverbs 4:7 buttresses, “wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore, get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.”
In this challenging, unstable world of wickedness, a believing believer living by the word of God should have an understanding that is rooted in wisdom and knowledge, having an edge and stability.
In all your getting, give yourself the wisdom, ability to gain understanding.
Gaining an understanding of God is not by determination but by prayer.
What to ask for in understanding?
Know to ask for understanding heart to discern.
An understanding heart is what all need to be able to discern between good and evil. When King Solomon went to Gibeon to sacrifice, God appeared to him in a dream to ask him what to do for him.
King Solomon asked God, “Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?” (1 Kings 3:9) 
The request of Solomon pleased the Lord.
PRAYER
Ask for understanding heart to discern just like King Solomon did.
(Understanding heart to discern will be able to see, detect in the endeavors of this wicked world.)
Know to ask for understanding not to walk a pathless wilderness.
Job, in the times of painful challenges of his life he responded to the critics over his life, referring to God, “He takes away the understanding of the chiefs of the people of the earth, and makes them wander in a pathless wilderness.” (Job 12:24)
Are you experiencing unceasing critics from close ones and ones in the distance from you that do not know that God is with you in what represents your wilderness journey of life?
A wilderness journey of life is with a path with understanding from God will direct to the promise of God not to be stranded in a pathless wilderness. 
God directed the Israelites to navigate the wilderness to arrive at the Promised Land. Exodus 13:17-18 records, “Lest perhaps the people change their minds when they see war and return to Egypt. So God led the people around by way of the wilderness of the Red Sea. And the children of Israel went up in orderly ranks out of the land of Egypt.” 
The direction of God is the path in the wilderness not to wander.
It is the understanding of God that will lead you in the path of wilderness to arrive at the calling of God.
PRAYER
Ask from God to enable you not to walk in a pathless wilderness of the journey of life. 
Ask for the understanding to hear and move as directed by God in the journey of life.
Ask that you will gain understanding from God that is a source to live life for the glory of God. 
The word of God requests to ask, and God will not deny responding.
Job 32:8 buttresses, “But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding.” Word of God does not fail to answer when is asked from God.
PRAYER
Ask for the breath of God upon you for understanding to become established over your life.
God is not a slave master but a saving master to deliver desires for all that asks. One with the desire not to miss the kingdom God will experience the deposit of desire by God by prayer. Psalm 119:34 records, “Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your law; Indeed, I shall observe it with my whole heart.” 
The Psalmist, with his desire he asked for understanding to keep and observe the law of God with the whole heart.
PRAYER
Ask for understanding to keep and observe the word of God with the whole heart.
Ask for the understanding of God to be established in you.
Paul the Apostle prayed for understanding, “For this reason, we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding”
If Paul prays for understanding, what is holding you from praying?
Give yourself to praying for knowledge, wisdom, and understanding.
