When You’re Desperate: 21 Days of Honest Prayerنموونە

Desperation often comes with confusion — when you don’t know what to do or how to move forward. But this verse makes something clear: God isn’t stingy with wisdom. He gives it freely, and He doesn’t shame you for needing it. You don’t have to figure everything out before you pray. You just have to ask.

Practice:

Where do you need wisdom right now? Be specific — name the situation or the decision in front of you. Desperate prayer requires us to admit what we don’t know — and believe that God does.

Ask God for clarity.

Ask Him to guide your next step.

Ask in faith, trusting He wants and loves to lead you.

Guided Prayer:

Heavenly Father,

Today I come to You humbly admitting

that I lack the wisdom that I need.

You know all things.

You can do all things.

Where I have limits and weaknesses,

You have none.

Forgive me when I rely on my limited wisdom,

Instead of coming to You for Yours.

I come to You in humility,

begging You for Your wisdom.

Help me to discern Your will

In every situation I face.

Remind me that You’re not disappointed

when I come to You,

And you’re never in short supply.

You always have everything I need.

Thank You for your faithfulness

and generosity toward me.
