Night Prayer 

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

Inspiration 

God’s wisdom reflects God’s character and furthers God’s purposes. If our lives are marked by selfishness and envy, then we are relying on the wisdom of the world, and will ultimately invite ruin on ourselves and others. But true wisdom is revealed in mercy and kindness because it is these things that bring forth the peace that can only come from God’s kingdom.

Prayer 

Lord, the world tells me to pursue success, to move with ambition toward personal gain, power, and wealth. But I seek to walk in the ways of Your wisdom. Give me the wisdom to sow mercy and kindness, to be a conduit of Your peace. Teach me to live as one sent on behalf of Your kingdom, so that others may see Your goodness. In Jesus’ name, amen.
