Prayer for the Gift of Prudence

Jesus, artful Master of Parables,

Your prudence eluded the hypocrites.

Your actions were known before creation,

Displaying all the wisdom of Your prudence.

Eternity must have attended to minutia.

Being prudent in Your best interest,

You considered all potential consequences,

Securing the outcome of Your earthly life.

Grant me the prudence to always be cautious

And sensitive to the basic needs of others.

Jesus, You have shown great foresight,

Prudence truly originates from Your Being.
