Prayer for Discernment and Guidance
Many are struggling with discernment, having problems identifying the plans of the enemy. Sometimes, we are guided by the Holy Spirit to make the right decisions but may choose otherwise because it appears more convenient in the short run.
We seek instant gratification instead of our long term spiritual well-being. Let us receive God’s gift of wisdom and discernment today and exercise it in our lives.
When we open our ears to hear what the Spirit is saying, we allow our hearts to be encouraged, thereby allowing the Holy Spirit to operate in us.
God will do what he says He will do. We can anchor our faith on His Word.
