The Gift of Counsel

 


I will instruct you and show you the way you should walk, give you counsel with my eye upon you. Psalm 32:8 

 

The gift of Counsel is closely related to the virtue of prudence, and helps us in decision making. We're meant to apply Knowledge and Understanding to all our life decisions. The more confusing and complex the decisions, the more we need Counsel to sort through it. 

 

 Give me grace O Holy Spirit, Spirit of the Father and the Son to say to You always and everywhere, ‘Speak Lord for Your servant heareth.’ Amen.  

 

Come, O Spirit of Counsel, help and guide me in all my ways, that I may always do Your holy will. Incline my heart to that which is good; turn it away from all that is evil, and direct me by the straight path of Your teaching  to that goal of eternal life for which I long. Amen.
