Praying Proverbs 4: Got Wisdom?

Almighty God,

Sometimes your commands are simple and straightforward: "Get wisdom; get insight." Succinct and direct advice, I guess. Sometimes I imagine scriptures as parts of ad campaigns, and I can't help but imagine an advertisement for God a la the American Dairy Association: Got Wisdom? Or maybe even more to the point: Got God? In your mercy, O Lord, might you allow it to be so. Share yourself and your wisdom with me; inspire and enlighten me; raise me up in times of trouble and counsel me through hardships. And, in time, make me a part of your advertising campaign.

Amen
