Heavenly Father,
Thank you so much for your love. I know that you are all-powerful and faithful, and your Word is trustworthy, right, and true. I pray now that you would hear me in this request for an increase in discernment as I continue to dig into your Word and grow closer to you. Grant me the wisdom to seek you first when times of decision are at hand, and help me to take to heart what Paul writes in Philippians 1:9-10, that love abound more and more with knowledge and all discernment, and in so doing, be pure and blameless as you have commanded. From the smallest and most seemingly insignificant choices to the largest, heaviest, and even life-altering decisions, I ask you to be with me as I seek you for guidance. Grant that I always remember that you are with me every step of the way, and will show me each step one at a time as is appropriate, knowing and seeing your Word as a lamp to my feet and a light to my path (Psalm 119:105), keeping it at my core as I go about my days. Give me your peace that passes understanding to help me to know and always remember that by putting you at the center of my life, I will have everything needed to have the strength to live the life you have created me to live – a life centered on You and Your Word.
Thank you for being my perfect and gracious Father, for your promises, and for always completing the work you begin.
I pray this all in your holy name. Amen.
