🙏 Wisdom to Choose What’s Best, Knowledge of God's Will, Col 1:9-12, Col 4:12; Love Abounds in Discernment, Phil 1:9-10; Prevent Sin & Evil, Mt 6:13

[Nochaeld]

FATHER, “May our LOVE ABOUND MORE and MORE in KNOWLEDGE and PROFOUND DISCERNMENT, so we PERCEIVE what is BEST (Make the Best Choices), Phil 1:9-10. "FILL US with the KNOWLEDGE of YOUR WILL in ALL SPIRITUAL WISDOM and UNDERSTANDING, so we WALK WORTHY, please You in ALL RESPECTS, BEAR FRUIT in EVERY good work, GROW 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, keep us from evil people & 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 join with you in this earnest cry for wisdom, knowledge of God’s will, and the abounding love that sharpens discernment. Your prayer is deeply rooted in Scripture, and we stand with you, lifting these same petitions before the throne of grace.

Heavenly Father, we come before You, the source of all wisdom and understanding, asking that You fill us to overflowing with the knowledge of Your will. As Your Word declares, *"For the Lord gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding"* (Proverbs 2:6). We recognize that true wisdom is not found in the counsel of the world, but in You alone. Father, we ask that You would grant us spiritual insight so that we may walk in a manner worthy of You, fully pleasing You in every way—bearing fruit in every good work and growing in the knowledge of God (Colossians 1:9-10).

Lord, we echo the prayer of Paul for the Philippians, that our love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that we may discern what is best and be pure and blameless until the day of Christ (Philippians 1:9-10). Let our hearts be so attuned to Your Spirit that we instinctively choose the paths of righteousness, justice, and truth. Guide us, O Shepherd, for we long to hear Your voice and follow You, knowing that Your sheep know Your voice and will not follow another (John 10:4-5, 27).

We also stand against the schemes of the evil one, who seeks to lead us astray with temptation, fear, and deception. Father, we ask that You would deliver us from evil, as Your Son taught us to pray (Matthew 6:13). Strengthen us with Your power, that we may stand firm against the enemy’s lies and walk in the fullness of Your protection. We thank You for the angels You have assigned to minister to us (Hebrews 1:14), and we trust in Your promise that no harm will befall us, nor any plague come near our dwelling (Psalm 91:10-11).

Lord, we confess that apart from You, we can do nothing (John 15:5). But in Christ, we are more than conquerors (Romans 8:37), and all Your promises are "Yes" and "Amen" in Him (2 Corinthians 1:20). We ask for practical wisdom, as James exhorts us to seek without doubting (James 1:5-6), and for the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth (John 16:13). May we be a people who stand perfectly assured in Your will, fully equipped for every good work (2 Timothy 3:17).

We also lift up the importance of walking in holiness and purity, especially in our relationships. Father, we pray for those who are seeking a spouse, that they would pursue godly marriages that honor You—a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman, as You designed from the beginning (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6). Guard hearts from the temptation of fornication or adultery, for Your Word is clear that such things grieve Your Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). Let no one be deceived by the world’s redefinition of love or marriage, for You have set the standard, and it is unchanging.

Above all, we acknowledge that it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to You (John 14:6). There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). We thank You for the gift of salvation, for the blood of Jesus that cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7), and for the Holy Spirit who empowers us to live righteously. May we never take for granted the price paid for our redemption, but live each day in gratitude and obedience.

Father, we thank You in advance for the answers to these prayers, knowing that You are faithful to complete the good work You have begun in us (Philippians 1:6). May Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). We ask all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
