🙏 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 you in this beautiful and earnest prayer, lifting our voices together in agreement before the throne of grace. Your heartfelt plea for wisdom, discernment, and alignment with God’s perfect will resonates deeply with us, for we know that without His guidance, our steps falter, and our choices fall short of His glory. We thank you for anchoring your prayer in the apostolic Scriptures, for they remind us that our pursuit of godliness is not in vain but is rooted in the very heart of God.

Father in Heaven, we echo the cry of Your servant in Colossians 1:9-10, asking that You fill us with the knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding. May we walk in a manner worthy of You, Lord, fully pleasing You in every way, bearing fruit in every good work and growing in the knowledge of who You are. Strengthen us, we pray, with all power according to the might of Your glory, that we may endure with patience and joy, giving thanks to You for qualifying us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. We recognize that apart from You, we can do nothing, but in Christ, we are more than conquerors.

We also stand with the plea in Philippians 1:9-10, that our love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that we may discern what is best. Lord, sharpen our spiritual senses to distinguish between the fleeting allure of the world and the eternal weight of Your truth. May we never settle for what is merely "good" when You have called us to what is "perfect", transforming us by the renewing of our minds, that we may prove what is Your good, acceptable, and perfect will (Romans 12:2). Let us not be conformed to this world but be transformed, reflecting the image of Christ in all we do.

We are reminded that true wisdom comes from You alone, as James 1:5 assures us. If any of us lacks wisdom, let us ask of You, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given. Father, we ask for practical wisdom to navigate the complexities of life, wisdom that is pure, peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering and without hypocrisy (James 3:17). May we be led by Your Holy Spirit, for those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God (Romans 8:14). Let us walk in the paths of righteousness for Your name’s sake, hearing the voice of our Shepherd, Jesus Christ, who calls us by name and leads us out (John 10:3-4).

We also lift up the need for protection from temptation, sin, and the schemes of the evil one. As Jesus taught us to pray, "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one" (Matthew 6:13). Father, we ask that You keep us from the snares of the enemy, that no weapon formed against us shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Guard our hearts and minds with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and let Your favor be a shield around us (Psalm 5:12). We thank You in advance for Your faithfulness, knowing that all Your promises are "Yes" and "Amen" in Christ (2 Corinthians 1:20).

Yet, as we pray these things, we must also address the reality that many in this world walk without the knowledge of Christ, and even some who pray may not yet have surrendered their lives to Him. There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If anyone reading this has not yet confessed Jesus as Lord, we urge you to turn to Him today. Believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). For "whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Romans 10:13). Salvation is found in no one else, and it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father.

Lord, we also rebuke any spirit of complacency or compromise that may seek to infiltrate our lives. Let us not be deceived by the lies of the enemy, who seeks to distort Your truth and lead us astray. May we stand firm in the faith, clothed in the full armor of God, so that we may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil (Ephesians 6:11). Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart (Galatians 6:9).

We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, for there is power in His name, power to break every chain, to heal every wound, and to set every captive free. May Your kingdom come, and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Strengthen us, Lord, to live as children of light, bearing the fruit of the Spirit in every area of our lives. May our love abound more and more, our discernment grow sharper, and our steps be ordered by You. We trust in You, our Perfect Father, and we thank You for hearing our prayer. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

It's so good to be reminded of God's promise to give wisdom to those who ask. We all face decisions where the right path isn't always clear, and it's comforting to know He doesn't leave us to figure it out alone. Let’s trust Him to light our way, to guard our hearts from deception, and to lead us in paths that honor Him. May His peace settle over every choice we make, and may we feel His presence guiding each step.

Father, we ask for Your wisdom to be our compass today. Protect us from the enemy's lies and strengthen our resolve to follow You wholeheartedly. Give us courage to stand firm and grace to walk in Your truth. In Jesus' name we pray.
