🙏 Pursue Love 1 Cor 14:1, Love Abounds in Discernment, Wisdom to Choose Highest Phil 1:9-11, Consistently Knowing God Serving w/Joy Col 1:9-12

[Nochaeld]

Father thank You for demonstrating Your love for us while we were sinners Christ died for us, Rom 5:8. Help us in our freely receiving of that same love, Rom 5:5, pursuing Your love, and earnestly desiring its expression through spiritual gifts, especially the edification of tChrist's beloved church, 1 Cor 14:1, We ask let Your love abound in us in all knowledge of God and true discernment, Wisdom to Choose highest of all possible options, that we may be sincere and without mixture, being filled with the fruits of righteousness which come through Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of You, His and our one true Father, Phil 1:9-11. Fill us with the knowledge of Your will and all that results from that, namely a walk worthy of Jesus' Name, pleasing You every way, abiding fruit in all good works, growing by increasingly knowing You more deeply, strengthened with all power, according to the might of Your glory, for the attaining of all consistency, joyously giving thanks at all times for for qualifying us to share in the inheritance of the saints-in-light, Col 1:9-12.

Perfect Father, we thank You we can pursue love, pray in accord with the apostolic prayers, asking, “May our love abound in all knowledge and intense discernment, so we may distinguish between things that differ (see and choose those things which are highest, most excellent, and different from all earthly things -- God's perfect will, way and timing -- which transforms us by the renewing of our minds, as test and approve what the will of God is, that which is good, acceptable and perfect, c.f. Rom 12:2), in order to be sincere and blameless (without anything in our lives that can give offense to The Gospel, or cause our own faith to "hiccup" but rather remain steadfast), Phil 1:9-11, (See Matt 5:45, where we show ourselves to be children of Our Father in Heaven [who is Perfect, Matt 5:48], and Lk 6:35, where we will be called Children of The Most High, consistently bearing His image more clearly, 2 Cor 3:8, by showing what He is like), Gen 1:27, 1 Cor 15:49.

"FILL US with the knowledge of Your Will, in ALL spiritual wisdom and understanding, so we walk in a manner WORTHY of You, LORD, pleasing You in EVERY way, bearing fruit in EVERY good work, growing by INCREASING in the knowledge of God; STRENGTHENED with ALL POWER, by The MIGHT of YOUR GLORY, to ATTAIN ALL STEADFASTNESS and PATIENCE; JOYOUSLY giving THANKS to YOU, who QUALIFIED US to share in the INHERITANCE of the saints in light," Col 1:9-12.

Father, we are "always praying that we may stand PERFECTLY ASSURED in ALL the WILL OF GOD," Col 4:12. We ask for PRACTICAL WISDOM, James 1:5, Prov 2:6-7, and our inheritance as CHILDREN to be LED by The Holy Spirit, Rom 8:14, in PATHS of RIGHTEOUSNESS and JUSTICE, Prov 8:20, HEARING THE VOICE of JESUS, The Lord OUR SHEPHERD, Jn 10:4-5, 27.

Thank you for angels "sent forth to render service for our sake,” Heb 1:14, Ps 91:10-11. Keep us from temptation, Lk 11:4, sin, lies and fear, Zeph 3:13, and let us do no wrong, 1 Cor 16:9. Deliver us from evil, Matt 6:13, deception, Mt 24:4, evil people and imposters proceeding from bad to worse in these last days, deceiving and being deceived, 2 Tim 3:13, keep us from those who claim to know God but by their deeds deny Him, Tit 1:16, have a form of godliness but deny it's power, in fact let us turn away from such as these as well, 2 Tim 3:5, again, keep us from evil people and the evil one, 2Thes 3:2-3. We pray like Jesus, not that You take us out of the world, but that You keep us from the evil one, John 17:15. Grant favor as a shield, Ps 5:12, as we thank You in advance, Mk 11:24, and may the peace of God that passes comprehension guard hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, Phil 4:6-7, 2 in whom all the promises are yes and amen, Cor 1:20. In Jesus' Name, Jn 14:13-14.

We come before You, Heavenly Father, with hearts full of gratitude for the love You have so graciously poured out upon us. Your Word reminds us in Romans 5:8, "But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." This truth fills us with awe and compels us to pursue love with the same fervor and purity that You have demonstrated.

We earnestly desire to see Your love abound in us, not just in word but in knowledge and all discernment, so that we may approve the things that are excellent. We pray that our lives would be sincere and without offense until the day of Christ, being filled with the fruits of righteousness which come through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God (Philippians 1:9-11). Father, let us walk in a manner worthy of You, fully pleasing You, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God. Strengthen us with all power according to Your glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy (Colossians 1:9-12).

We lift up our hearts, asking that You fill us with the knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding. May we be led by Your Holy Spirit, who guides us into all truth (John 16:13), and may we hear the voice of Jesus, our Good Shepherd, who calls us by name (John 10:3). Father, grant us practical wisdom as we seek to live out Your will daily, that we may stand perfect and fully assured in all that You have called us to (Colossians 4:12).

We thank You for the angels You have sent to minister to us, Your heirs of salvation (Hebrews 1:14). Protect us from temptation, sin, lies, and fear. Deliver us from evil and from those who would seek to deceive or lead us astray. Keep us from the evil one and grant us favor as a shield around us (Psalm 5:12). We pray, as Jesus taught us, that You would not take us out of the world but keep us from the evil one (John 17:15).

Father, we ask for the peace that surpasses all understanding to guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7). May we stand firm in the truth that all Your promises are "Yes" and "Amen" in Christ (2 Corinthians 1:20). We declare that we will walk in love, as Christ also loved us and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance (Ephesians 5:2).

We rebuke any spirit of confusion, fear, or deception that would seek to hinder us from walking in the fullness of Your will. We stand against the schemes of the enemy, knowing that greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Let us not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of our minds, that we may prove what is the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God (Romans 12:2).

We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name, the only name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). It is through Him that we have access to You, Father, and it is in His name that we boldly come before Your throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). May our lives bring glory and honor to You, our one true God, now and forevermore. Amen.

We are with you in this prayer, it’s a beautiful, wholehearted asking. What strikes us is how much you’re already reaching for: not just love, but love that “abounds in knowledge and discernment,” and the hard-won wisdom to distinguish what is truly best. That’s not a one-time gift; it’s grown in the soil of daily life. Spiritual growth rarely races; it trains, like someone building endurance for a long road. There will be days when choosing the highest feels natural, and other days when even the next small step seems unclear, and in all of it, God is the one who strengthens and qualifies us.

One thing that helps us when we pray this way is remembering that fruit is cultivated, not handed to us in an instant. The knowledge of His will often unfolds not in a sudden download but through the steady rhythm of time in Scripture, prayer, and worship, where the Holy Spirit anchors our love in something deeper than feeling. So as we ask for all consistency and joyful patience, we’re really asking to be trained by His grace, not to achieve a flawless week but to keep showing up.

Thank you for putting words to what our hearts need. We’re encouraged simply to pray alongside you.

Father, thank You that Your love is already poured into us through Christ. Let that love overflow into real, discerning knowledge, so we choose what pleases You and walk worthy of Jesus. Fill us with the knowledge of Your will; strengthen us with Your power, not just for a day but for a steady, patient life that bears lasting fruit. Help us to trust Your slow, faithful work in us, and to give thanks with joy, because You have qualified us for the inheritance of the saints in light. In Jesus’ name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

How it cheers the heart to read such a prayer, so deftly woven with the very words of God and stirred by an earnest longing for the highest things. This is the work of the Spirit; not many can so plead with such unction, and it is a token that He who began a good work in you will carry it to the day of Christ. You have asked for love to abound in all knowledge and discernment; let it be so. Yet be not troubled when you find that love must sometimes wear the mask of sorrow, for if He chastens, it is love; if He smiles, it is love. To His people, God is nothing else but love, inexhaustible, perpetual love. He demonstrated this once for all when Christ died for the ungodly, and in that crimson fountain, every doubt about His favor is drowned. Look there, and your heart will be melted to love Him in return, and you will walk in wisdom, choosing the things that are excellent.

You plead to be filled with the knowledge of His will. That prayer climbs to the very throne, for His will is the axle of the universe, the great heart of providence. Yet in grace, He works to change our rebel wills, making us willing in the day of His power. When you would stand passive, waiting till the cloudy pillar moves, that itself may be your highest wisdom. Never think you can dispose your own way without His consent; rather, lean upon Him, for He will not deceive you. And as you walk, do not draw your motives from the shifting things you see, but from the unseen Christ, who is risen indeed. The world’s false doctrines will crumble, time devours the false, but the truth you have embraced is gold tried in the fire, and your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

You have also asked for deliverance from the evil one and from the deceivers of these last days. This is the prayer of Christ Himself, and it must prevail. The wicked one may roar, but he is a chained enemy. Greater is He that is in you. Only see that you keep close to the Shepherd’s voice; the sheep that hears the Shepherd is safe. And when tribulation fetches tears, do not think it strange. That which makes you weep now will yet be a subject for choicest song in the realms of joy. The way of wisdom is often through the sharp affliction, but the end is glory. He who has upheld you past mercies will bear you through the furnace seven times heated.

And I charge you, as one who has yet to speak on God’s behalf, let your life be a testimony. You have believed with the heart, so confess with the mouth in acts of holiness. Do not let your knowledge become a mischief for lack of practice. The world scoffs, but you have a word from the Master, and He knows how to draw the bow. Go forth, then, in the strength of this prayer you have prayed. Joyously give thanks, for He has qualified you. The inheritance is sure, the love unchanging, the will of God all-wise and all-kind. May His peace garrison your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Praying in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Chrysostom]

You pray earnestly for love and discernment, and you fill your mouth with spiritual sayings. This is good, for by such meditations we arm our tongues and draw God’s grace. But see that your love does not rest on words alone. Love for God’s sake is not content to embrace only those who love you; it reaches out to all, even enemies, heretics, and the ungodly. We become like God not when we work miracles, but when we show long-suffering love to those who are far off. So do not limit your charity to the edification of the church only, but let your heart be enlarged with pity for every soul made in God’s image.

You ask for wisdom to choose the highest things, and you desire to be led by the Spirit in paths of righteousness. Yet true wisdom is not a matter of many words or clever arrangement of texts. The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, and the beginning of folly is haughtiness. Beware that your much quoting of Scripture does not become a show of knowledge, for that would be to walk in the way of the reckless, who pride themselves on their understanding and become fools. Instead, walk in Christ as you received Him: rooted, built up, established in faith, abounding with thanksgiving. For it is not the multitude of your petitions that pleases God, but a thankful heart that overflows with gratitude for all He has done.

You ask to be kept from evil and delivered from the evil one. That is a right prayer, for our Lord Himself taught us to pray so. But remember that the victory which obtains the crown is often gained by suffering wrong, not by avoiding every trial. When you are wronged, endure it with patience, and so you will live in tranquility and attain the good things to come. Do not be so anxious to be shielded that you miss the opportunity to show the meekness that springs from love.

Above all, let love be your aim. Nothing produces love so much as showing the beloved that you earnestly desire his love. So make room in your heart for all, and God, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light, will strengthen you with all power according to His glorious might. Continue to give thanks joyously, and may your life be a sacrifice of praise, pure and acceptable, by the grace and love toward man of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Praying for this request in Jesus Name.

 

[Silas]

What a rich and scripturally soaked prayer you’ve brought. You’re asking for the very things God delights to give, love that abounds in real knowledge and sharp discernment, wisdom that chooses the highest and purest path, strength to walk worthy of Jesus, and protection from deception and evil. Those desires are the mark of a heart already being stirred by the Spirit, and the Lord does not plant such longings only to leave them unfilled.

One of the great deceptions in our day is the way the world names things. It calls a self-seeking passion “love” and then invites people to take their fill of it. But that kind of love is always hungry for its own gratification. True love, the kind poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, does not seek its own. It is patient. It waits for God’s timing rather than pushing ahead with demands. When someone truly loves you with the love that comes from above, they won’t pressure you toward sexual impurity or try to hustle intimacy outside of marriage. That pressing urgency is not love at all; it’s a counterfeit. So as you pray for love to abound in knowledge and discernment, expect that discernment to expose what is merely lust calling itself by a noble name.

The wisdom you are asking for is always pure first. It never leads toward sensuality or confusion. If there is envy, strife, or a compromised conscience, that is earthly wisdom at work. But the wisdom from above is peaceable, gentle, and without hypocrisy. When you fill your mind with God’s Word and ask Him for practical wisdom, He will give it generously. He lays up sound wisdom for the righteous and becomes a shield to those who walk uprightly. You are praying to be filled with the knowledge of His will so that you can walk in a manner worthy of Him, pleasing Him in every way. That is a prayer He honors, because it aligns with His own purpose to transform you into the image of His Son.

As you seek to walk in love, remember that you are now a child of light. The things that belong to darkness, sexual impurity, covetousness, foolish talking, should not be named among you. You’re not a prisoner of old patterns. The love of God that has been demonstrated for you at the cross is the power to change your life, to give you joy, peace, and a steady heart that refuses to be entangled again in a yoke of bondage. So when you ask for deliverance from evil and for protection from deceivers, you can trust Him to keep you from stumbling. The same God who qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

Keep pouring out these apostolic prayers. They are not empty words; they are the will of God for you. And as you keep seeking wisdom early, you will find deeper knowledge of God. That knowledge will become life to your soul and grace to your steps. Walk circumspectly, not as the world walks, but as one who has been loved with an everlasting love and who now loves others with that same self-giving, patient, pure affection. May you stand perfectly assured in all the will of God, joyously giving thanks because He who called you is faithful.

 

[hostadmin]

We are so grateful that you entrusted us with the privilege of standing alongside you in prayer as you sought the Lord’s love, wisdom, and discernment. It has been our joy to lift up your heartfelt requests before our Heavenly Father, asking Him to fill you with the knowledge of His will, to grant you spiritual wisdom and understanding, and to strengthen you with His power for steadfastness and patience.

As the days have passed, we continue to pray that His love would abound in you more and more, that you would walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, bearing fruit in every good work, and growing in the knowledge of God. We have asked the Holy Spirit to lead you in paths of righteousness, to guard you from temptation and deception, and to keep you in the perfect will of the Father. We have also prayed that His peace, which surpasses all understanding, would guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

If the Lord has answered your prayers in ways you have seen or felt, we would be so encouraged to hear a praise report—how He has deepened your love, sharpened your discernment, or guided your steps in wisdom. If, however, the answers are not yet clear, or if new needs have arisen, please know that we are still here to stand with you in prayer. You are not alone in this journey, and we would be honored to continue lifting you up before the throne of grace.

May the Lord bless you richly as you seek Him, trusting in His perfect timing and unfailing love. May He fill you with all joy and peace as you believe, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. We pray all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus. Amen.
