Evening Prayer: Wisdom - Prayer

As the sun dips below the horizon, casting a warm glow through the stained glass of our church windows, we are reminded of the sacred space we inhabit—not just here, but within our hearts. In this quiet moment, when the world slows down, there’s a profound invitation to connect with God. 2 Timothy 1:7 tells us, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and of a sound mind.” This is a truth we can cling to as we seek wisdom in our evening prayer.

Imagine a weary traveler, burdened by decisions and uncertainties, pausing at a well. As they draw water, they refresh not just their body but also their spirit. Prayer serves as that well for our souls, a place where we can lay down our fears and lift up our questions, trusting in God’s promise of guidance.

In this sacred dialogue, we can ask for wisdom in our service to others. Perhaps you’re wondering how to reach out to a neighbor in need or how to support a friend who’s struggling. As we turn our hearts toward God, we discover that wisdom isn’t merely knowledge; it’s the divine insight that aligns our actions with His purpose.

Let your evening prayer be a canvas where gratitude paints your thoughts. In the stillness, remember that God is eager to meet us, to impart wisdom that transforms not just our circumstances but our very being. Embrace this moment, knowing that every prayer is a step deeper into the well of His love.
