Ask for Wisdom
Scripture
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
KJV · Public domain in the United States · Text provenance: Project Gutenberg eBook #10
Devotional
Questions about money, health, relationships, moving, caregiving, and time can feel heavier in retirement. God does not shame you for needing wisdom. He invites you to ask. His generosity is not reluctant, as though you have bothered Him with one question too many. Wisdom may come through prayer, Scripture, wise counsel, careful information, and the patience to wait. Asking God for wisdom is not an excuse to ignore practical responsibility. It is a way of bringing every practical step under His care. You do not have to see the whole road today. Ask for enough light and wisdom for the next decision, then take it with humility.
Reflection
What decision do I need to bring honestly before God instead of carrying alone?

Generous God, give me wisdom for the decisions before me. Keep me teachable and unafraid to ask for help. Amen.
