Prayer Discernment and Wisdom

Seeking Wisdom and Discernment from God

God is the ultimate source of wisdom, generously giving it to all who ask in faith (James 1:5). True understanding, knowledge, and discernment come from Him alone (Proverbs 2:6), and through prayer and the study of His Word, we can be filled with insight into His will (Colossians 1:9; Psalm 119:66).

Believers need discernment and wisdom from God to recognize and resist the deceptions of this world. It is good and necessary to ask the Lord to guide us, that His Holy Spirit may grant us understanding, help us make righteous decisions, and align our hearts with His ways. These prayer points focus on seeking God’s wisdom and discernment to live faithfully, avoid error, and walk in obedience to His Word.
