I pray that you and I are blessed with wisdom and discernment and the ability to help others gain insight, my friend and brother-in-Christ Alan K..
I pray that YOU bless parents and teachers with insight in how children are bent towards learning and what interests them. I pray that YOU bless children with a hunger to learn as much as they can from their parents and teachers.
I pray that bless President Trump, Vice President Pence, governors, mayors, judges and state legislators with insight and wisdom. I pray LORD that YOU do what it takes to motivate congressmen and congresswomen to focus on the needs of this nation and their constituents.
I am grateful that YOU bless YOUR own with wisdom, discernment and insight into knowledge, skills as well as interpersonal relationships dear God. The beginning of wisdom is the fear of YOU Lord.
I am thankful for common grace and that YOU bless leaders and followers with knowledge, skill and insight to improve the organizations, businesses and communities as well as personal relationships among the businesses and communities.
I pray for a greater sense of community across this nation and that YOU cause us to focus on common interests instead of what divides people.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well tonight.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good morning my RP Family. Insight is something I strive to achieve earnestly when finding something for the Colonel’s motivational quotes. I strive to have the insight necessary to find the appropriate Biblical message to share with y’all. I believe I have found something that many will find helpful in gaining knowledge of the Lord. I pray that y’all find value in it for your gaining wisdom and knowledge of Him who created us. Have a blessed day today and always.

Spiritual Insight for Knowing the Lord
Making mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. (Ephesians 1:16-17)
The new covenant of grace by which we relate to God is designed to bring us a growing, intimate knowledge of our Lord. However, this growing in knowing God requires that He reveals Himself to us. This is why Paul prayed for other believers to this end: " Making mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him."
In order to increase in the knowledge of God, one must be given heaven-sent spiritual insight: "that…God…may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation." God cannot be seen by natural sight: "who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see" (1 Timothy 6:16). God cannot be known by natural wisdom. "The world through wisdom did not know God" (1 Corinthians 1:21). The things of God must be revealed to us by the Lord. "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him. But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God" (1 Corinthians 2:9-10).
Jesus rejoiced in the divine wisdom of this plan. "In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, 'I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight'" (Luke 10:21). Jesus also encouraged those who humbly received God-given insight into spiritual realities. "And Simon Peter answered and said, 'You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.' Jesus answered and said to him, 'Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven'" (Matthew 16:16-17).
Jesus taught His followers to rely upon the teaching, revealing ministry of the Holy Spirit to know the things of God. "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth…He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you" (John 16:13-14).
Dear Lord, I long to know You more and more. I humbly confess that I need You revealing Yourself to me. As I prayerfully read and study Your holy word, I pray that You would give to me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You, Amen.
