Praying with Paul: 'Supernatural Wisdom'

Tuesday, March 18, 2025

1 Corinthians 2:11-16

Dear Father, giver of your Holy Spirit,

All praises to your blessed name, to you, our God! You have disclosed incredibly wonderful things to us through your Spirit, for your Spirit searches everything, even the deep things within you.

No one comprehends your thoughts except your Spirit, just as no other person truly knows my thoughts as my own spirit does.

But, all thanks to you, we have not received the spirit of the world but you have given us your very own Spirit, that we might understand the gifts bestowed on us by you.

In the name of Jesus I give you thanks for the supernatural wisdom you have bestowed on me by reason of my faith. Amen.
