For You From The Word
That night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, “Ask for whatever you want me to give you.” (2 Chronicles 1:7)
For You To Think About
Soon after King Solomon assumed Israel’s throne, he offered sacrifices and worship to God. The Lord appeared to the new king and said, “Ask for whatever you want Me to give you.”
Solomon realized the undertaking he faced in leading Israel. Of all the things he could have requested from God, he asked for wisdom. The Lord not only granted his petition, but also promised Solomon riches and honor if he walked in obedience.
Solomon’s decisions impacted thousands. Women who face an unplanned pregnancy make decisions that impact themselves, their children, their families, and generations to come. Pregnant women need wisdom as they make decisions for themselves and their babies. When you intercede on their behalf, you make a difference for life.
For You To Pray
Adapted from Solomon’s prayer for wisdom (2 Chronicles 1:8-10)
Heavenly Father,
You have shown great kindness to this woman and have made her the mother-to-be of a child. Now let Your promise to her be confirmed – that when she chooses life, she and her child will live abundantly (Deuteronomy 30:19). Give her wisdom and knowledge that she may lead and guide this child. For who can raise up a child without Your help?
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
