What does the Bible say about prayer for wisdom?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that prayer for wisdom, as exemplified by Solomon, is a selfless act that pleases God.

In 1 Kings 3:5-14, Solomon asked God for wisdom rather than wealth or long life, demonstrating his desire to serve his people. This prayer pleased the Lord, showing that seeking wisdom for the benefit of others aligns with God's will. James 1:5 also encourages believers to seek wisdom from God, promising that He gives generously to all without reproach. This biblical principle underscores the importance of asking for wisdom to discern good and bad, rather than for selfish desires.
