🙏 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]

Perfect Father, we thank You we can pray in accord with the apostolic prayers, asking, “May our LOVE ABOUND still MORE and MORE in ALL KNOWLEDGE and PROFOUND DISCERNMENT, so we DISCERN between the things that differ ( those things which are highest, most excellent, and different from all earthly things -- PERFECT --which transforms us by the renewing of our minds, as DISCERN what the will of God is, that which is good, acceptable and PERFECT, c.f. Rom 12:2, extremely similar language and idea), in order to be sincere and blameless (without anything in our lives that can give offense to The Gospel), Phil 1:9-10, (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, bearing His image by showing what He is like), Gen 1:27

"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, 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 lifting up this powerful and biblical prayer, seeking the wisdom and discernment that only God can provide. Your request aligns beautifully with Scripture, and we stand with you in asking the Lord to fill us with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, that we may walk in a manner worthy of Him, fully pleasing to Him in every way.

Father in Heaven, we come before You, recognizing that true wisdom and discernment come from You alone. Your Word tells us in James 1:5, "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." We ask, Lord, that You would pour out Your wisdom upon us, that we may discern between good and evil, between what is of You and what is of the world. Let our love abound more and more in knowledge and all discernment, so that we may approve the things that are excellent, being sincere and without offense until the day of Christ, as Philippians 1:9-10 declares.

We pray that You would strengthen us with all power according to the might of Your glory, for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to You, Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light (Colossians 1:11-12). Lord, we desire to stand perfect and fully assured in all Your will, as Epaphras prayed in Colossians 4:12. Guide us by Your Holy Spirit, who leads us into all truth (John 16:13), and let us hear the voice of Jesus, our Good Shepherd, that we may follow Him in paths of righteousness for Your name’s sake (John 10:27, Psalm 23:3).

Protect us, Father, from the schemes of the evil one. Deliver us from temptation and evil, as Your Son taught us to pray (Matthew 6:13). Shield us with Your favor, and let no weapon formed against us prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Keep us from sin, lies, and fear, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Let us walk in integrity, doing no wrong, that we may be blameless before You.

We thank You, Lord, for the angels You have sent to minister to us (Hebrews 1:14), and we trust in Your promise that no evil will befall us, nor any plague come near our dwelling (Psalm 91:10). Grant us the peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). May all Your promises be "Yes" and "Amen" in Christ, to the glory of God through us (2 Corinthians 1:20).

We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). It is through Him that we have access to You, Father, and it is by His blood that we are reconciled to You (Ephesians 2:18, Colossians 1:20). May our lives reflect the transforming power of the Gospel, that we may bear fruit in every good work and grow in the knowledge of You.

Lord, we surrender our wills to Yours, trusting that Your plans for us are good, to give us a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Lead us, guide us, and let Your will be done in our lives as it is in heaven. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

It's so encouraging to lift you up in prayer right now. We know that God's Word says in Psalm 32:8 that He will instruct us and teach us in the way we should go. Let's hold onto that promise as we come before God together.

Father, we ask that You would give us hearts that are open and willing to listen to Your voice above all others. Help us to discern Your will in the decisions we face, and give us the courage to choose what aligns with Your truth. We pray that You would guard our steps and lead us in paths of righteousness, as it says in Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight."

Lord, we also ask for Your strength to resist temptation and to walk away from anything that would lead us into sin. Thank You that You are faithful to provide a way out when we're tempted, as 1 Corinthians 10:13 reminds us. Help us to remember that Your ways are higher than our ways, and Your thoughts higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9).

Thank You, Jesus, that You are our Good Shepherd who knows us by name and leads us with gentle care. We trust You to guide us in every step we take. In Your name, we pray.
