1 God of my fathers, LORD of mercy. you who have made all things by your word
2 And in your wisdom have established man to rule the creatures produced by you,
3 To govern the world in holiness and justice, and to render judgment in integrity of heart:
4 Give me Wisdom, the attendant at your throne, and reject me not from among your children;
5 For I am your servant, the son of your handmaid, a man weak and short-lived and lacking in comprehension of judgment and of laws.

I can certainly resonate with that prayer.
 
This also speaks to me.

13 For what man knows God’s counsel, or who can conceive what our LORD intends?
14 For the deliberations of mortals are timid, and unsure are our plans.
15 For the corruptible body burdens the soul and the earthen shelter weighs down the mind that has many concerns.
16 And scarce do we guess the things on earth, and what is within our grasp we find with difficulty; but when things are in heaven, who can search them out?
17 Or who ever knew your counsel, except you had given Wisdom and sent your holy spirit from on high?
18 And thus were the paths of those on earth made straight, and men learned what was your pleasure, and were saved by Wisdom.
