Did you know that the very first petition (there are 13) included in the daily Amida (Standing Prayer) is for knowledge and understanding?

Prayer for Understanding בינה

אַתָּה חוֹנֵן לְאָדָם דַּֽעַת וּמְלַמֵּד לֶאֱנוֹשׁ בִּינָה: חָנֵּֽנוּ מֵאִתְּ֒ךָ חָכְמָה בִּינָה וָדָּעַת בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָה חוֹנֵן הַדָּֽעַת

Ata honen l’adam da’at umelamed l’enosh binah: haneinu me’itkha hokhma bina v’da’at. Barukh ata YHVH honen hada’at.

You favor humans with perception and teach humankind understanding. Grant us from Your wisdom, understanding and knowledge. Blessed are You, YHVH, Grantor of perception.
