Praying from James 3:17 relating to Wisdom, Purity, Peacefulness

Dear God, please grant me the wisdom that comes from above. May it be pure and untainted by the world’s ways. May it bring peace to my heart and those around me. Help me to be gentle in my words and actions, and to approach situations with reason and understanding. May I always show mercy and bear good fruit in all that I do. Keep me from being partial or hypocritical, and guide me to live a life that reflects your wisdom. Amen.
