8 Now Stephen, a man full of God’s grace and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people. 9 Opposition arose, however, from members of the Synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called)—Jews of Cyrene and Alexandria as well as the provinces of Cilicia and Asia—who began to argue with Stephen. 10 But they could not stand up against the wisdom the Spirit gave him as he spoke. Acts 6:8-10 NIV
Praise & Prayer for wisdom from God
Thank You, heavenly Father, for sending the Holy Spirit who gives me wisdom from above that is, first of all, pure, peace-loving, gentle at all times, willing to yield to others, full of mercy, and eager to do good deeds. Lord Jesus, I want to be more and more like You by being filled with God's grace and power so I impact the lives of family members, friends, and people in the marketplace who don't have a personal relationship with You. Please illuminate my mind Holy Spirit to understand the Holy Scriptures that fortify my faith in times of trouble. Help me to remain peace-loving like Stephen when I face opposition, and give me the words to speak that bring honor and glory to my Lord Jesus Christ. I pray in His mighty name, amen.
