Proverbs 18:1-2
1 Unfriendly people care only about themselves;
they lash out at common sense.
2 Fools have no interest in understanding;
they only want to air their own opinions. [1] Proverbs 18:1-2 NLT
Wisdom comes to the man or woman who can trust God totally and give up his or her problems to Him. Peace of mind and heart is a rare and valuable quality, and the person who truly trusts God will find it. There is absolutely nothing we can do better than God, except mess up a situation. If we will learn to let go of our trails, and let God work them out, we will come to know the real meaning of faith. Faith is the confidence of things not seen, the assurance of things hoped for. When we trust God, He will do everything we ask, and our faith will be made rock solid. Foolish people think they know best, but the person who admits limitations is well on the road to wisdom.
Prayer: Father, I am so confident of my ability to control my life and yet there are times when I have just had enough. Let me learn to turn to You for strength and wisdom. You know the way and You want to lead me through every trail. In Jesus’ name Amen.

Pray This Prayer Until Resurrection Sunday Everyday
I pray Father in heaven thank you “that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give me the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of my heart enlightened, that I may know what is the hope to which he has called me, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in me, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward me which I believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.”
Ephesians 1:17-23 ESV as my daily prayer.
“For this reason I pray before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant me to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in my inner being, so that Christ may dwell in my heart through faith—that I, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that I may be filled with all the fullness of God.”
In Jesus Name Amen
Ephesians 3:14-19 ESV

Great Commission
The most important missional conversation, the most compelling, the most invigorating, missional conversation, the one that our Lord Jesus Christ is the most interested in, is the missional conversation that you and I will have with those who don't know Him yet those who are lost, those who are last, those who are least, and those who are lonely.
