Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for the gift of discernment. As I come before you today, I humbly ask for your guidance and wisdom. Grant me a discerning heart, O Lord, to distinguish between right and wrong, to recognize truth from deceit, and to understand your will in every aspect of my life. Help me to see beyond the surface, to perceive things as you see them, and to make choices that align with your purpose for me.
Lord, in moments of confusion, grant me clarity. When faced with difficult decisions, empower me to choose what is righteous, just, and honorable. Let your Spirit lead me, guiding me in each step I take. Open my eyes to see the path you have laid out for me, and give me the courage to follow it, even when it may not be the easiest or most popular choice.
Fill me with discernment, Heavenly Father, that I may discern the true intentions of others. Help me to recognize when someone’s words do not align with their actions, and protect me from those who may seek to harm or deceive me. Give me the ability to see through the illusions of this world, to resist temptation, and to walk in the light of your truth.
Lord, in my pursuit of discernment, may my heart always be open to your teachings and your Word. Let your scriptures be a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path, illuminating the way forward. Help me to meditate on your precepts, to trust in your promises, and to find solace and wisdom in your presence.
