Prayer for Discernment

Heavenly and most gracious Father,

Lord, I pray for discernment. Short and simple. There are many resources of “truth” circulating on multiple platforms. Father, I pray you will set my eyes on Your solid truth. I pray Your truth filters all other truths.

Lord, just this week alone I have seen articles, blogs, clips, photos, stats, videos and preaching. I’ve seen Scripture proclaimed, shared, twisted, and thrown. I’ve witnessed rants, fights, disagreements, breakups and accusations. I have seen acts of love, hatred, judgment and healing.

Father, to be able to see clearly is my deepest prayer today. I crave understanding as to what is accurate, what is valid, what is made up to add to an already intense saga, what is photoshopped, what is pretend, what is of man, and what is from You. Lord, this is my prayer!

Father God, I pray this for myself and for my prayer sisters.

Allow us to see through Your eyes. Train us to hear through Your ears. Remind us to think with the mind of Christ. Quicken our hearts to fallacies in order to sweetly testify of Your love. Lord, may the knowledge that presents itself before us be cycled through Your Word, so we will know how to receive it, how to respond within ourselves and/or toward others, and how to behave.

Lord Jesus, truth in You sets us free. Truth sets our eyes, settles our hearts, lights our steps, and makes straight our paths. Truth opens doors to testify of Your Name, Your love, Your death and Your resurrection. Your truth spills peace within our souls. And it comforts Your children as Your truths are discussed among us.

You do not give us a spirit of fear. You do give us the Spirit of power and of love and of a sound mind. Father, help us to utilize these free gifts. Help us to demonstrate Your power, to cling to and express Your love, and to stand firm upon the surety of a sound mind.

Father, this prayer for discernment is my prayer today. Hear and answer our plea. Pour upon us an abundance of clear, Scriptural discernment.

We love you, Lord, and we choose to follow You as the Way, the Truth and the Life.

XOXO
