Say this prayer aloud:
Lord, I desire Your direction and guidance in every area of my life. Jesus, You are my Wisdom! Therefore, You are a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Thank You, Lord, for navigating my thoughts and my steps in life as I renew my mind in Your Word. Because You will never leave me nor forsake me, my steps are ordered by You. I walk with wise people because I know that I will become like who I hang around [Proverbs 13:20]. I choose wisdom. I choose my friends wisely. I choose to follow God's ways and principles, making me wiser as I do. In Jesus’s name, Amen!
