Prayer

Lord, I need wisdom.  You said that if we ask for wisdom, you will give it liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or faultfinding.  There are precious wounded souls that You have placed in my path, in my sphere of influence who are in need of you and your grace and mercy.  I desperately need your wisdom so that I know when to simply listen and love on them, and when it is time to open my mouth.  Let my words be life-giving, grace-filled words of love and truth, healing and freedom... that they might be set free to pursue you and the path that you have for them.  Let me love them with your love; patient, kind, never failing love.  Open their eyes to see the Lover of their souls; that they would be ruined for anything less...
