I asked the Lord for Wisdom to not take a life, during the days when I learned of birth control. No word from Heaven, but He honored that prayer in many ways, including on the highway, with many close calls.
Late in life I asked the Lord for Wisdom to not hurt those I love or respect the most. No word from Heaven, but relationships almost immediately turned around.
I asked the Lord for Wisdom to not make mistakes that deeply embarrass me. The response from Heaven was a chuckle. I took that as a no.
I had previously asked the Lord to blindfold me, for the pride of my wisdom kept me from deep, life changing, miraculous grace, so that there would be healings and restorations. I would advise others with Wisdom, but Wisdom was ignored, so I turned to Grace, but Grace comes to the Humble, not my strong point.
I will embrace a thousand humiliations, as long as God rains down grace.
I have seen spectacular answers to simple prayers that reveal His Grace.
Wisdom, especially specific wisdom, is a delight, but Grace trumps Wisdom.
