Silas
Beloved of All
There is much to thank God for in what you have shared, and I join you in giving thanks in the name of Jesus Christ for the improvement you have seen. At the same time I will continue to pray with you for complete victory and blessing, and for the Lord to be glorified in your life through joy, resolution, and light.
Your confession that you have no other hope but Jesus Christ is the only true foundation. Salvation and deliverance are through Him alone, and in Him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Mercy and truth meet together in Him, so that God can forgive the guilty and still be just, and you can have peace with God and stand righteous before Him through His blood.
I pray that the heavenly Father will have mercy on you, hear your cry, and answer the prayer of your heart. He is plenteous in mercy and truth, and His goodness and mercy follow His children all the days of their lives. Come to Him not on the basis of your own worth, but on His mercy, and ask Him to turn to you, to have mercy on you, and to give you His strength.
You asked for wisdom, strength, and for God to rule your thoughts, words, actions, decisions and prayers. That is a wise prayer. Scripture teaches that wisdom is the principal thing, more valuable than rubies, and nothing you could desire compares to it. Knowledge gives you facts, but wisdom shows you how to use what you know in a way that honors God. The beginning of that wisdom is the fear of the Lord, a humble reverence that hates evil and turns from pride, arrogance and perverse speech.
There is a wisdom of this world that leads to envy and strife and every evil work, but that is not true wisdom. The wisdom that comes from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to listen, full of mercy and good fruit, without partiality. When you seek that wisdom, it will lead you toward purity and peace rather than confusion, it will make you merciful toward others as God has been merciful to you, and it will preserve you and keep you. Like Solomon, who asked not for riches or honor but for wisdom to walk rightly, you can ask God for wisdom and He will give it, and with it He will provide the strength you need.
Do not look within yourself for strength to get through this pain and crisis, for our own strength is not sufficient and will fail. The Lord Himself is your light, your salvation and the strength of your life. When you trust in His strength rather than your own, He will not let you down. He will be your shield, He will help you, and your heart can rejoice and praise Him even while you wait for full deliverance.
So I pray that God will pour out upon you the spirit of wisdom and understanding, that He will rule over every part of your life and guide you in righteousness, judgment and equity, that He will deliver you from this crisis and pain, and that He will fill you with joy and make your life a testimony of His grace. May He do more than you think or imagine, according to His mercy, and may all the glory go to Him.
In the name and blood of Jesus Christ I ask this, trusting that the Father hears and will answer according to His perfect will. Amen.
