AN ORIGINAL SELAH37 PRAYER
God of wisdom, slow the urgency in me long enough to listen. Help me see the facts, examine my motives, and seek counsel from people who tell the truth. Give me courage to choose what is loving and just. When certainty is unavailable, help me act responsibly and remain willing to learn. Amen.

Biblical foundation
Wisdom is sought through prayer, Scripture, and counsel. These passages do not promise a private sign for every choice.
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
James 1:5 Read in WEB ↗Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established.
Proverbs 15:22 Read in WEB ↗Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path.
Psalm 119:105 Read in WEB ↗
Write the decision in one sentence and ask a trusted person one specific question.
Study the context
Proverbs presents patterns of wise living, not mechanical guarantees. Read advice alongside the circumstances and the good of your neighbor.
Read the surrounding chapters before drawing a conclusion from an individual verse. These notes are study guidance, not a promise of a particular outcome.
Need urgent support?
You deserve real support. If you might hurt yourself or someone else, or you are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services now. Reach out to a trusted person who can stay with you. Prayer can accompany care; this tool cannot provide emergency help.
Use your country’s emergency number or a local crisis service. A trusted person, clinician, or safe community leader can help you find support.
