Prayer and Fasting With Transformation Church: The SauceSample

Spiritual Discernment

Through intentional prayer and fasting, we partner with God to develop and sharpen our spiritual discernment. We live in a time where internet accessibility is at an all-time high. It is easy to rely on the ample amount of information that is seemingly at our fingertips. Knowledge, information, and other experiences can be helpful when it comes to learning, creating our own opinions, and making decisions. However, it can be tempting to rely only on what we can see or hear in the natural and negate the spiritual aspect. God teaches us that we are to seek, understand, and rely on the Spirit of God. This allows us to grow in our spiritual discernment to help us understand right from wrong, truth from lies, and spiritual factors that affect our lives. God is the source of all wisdom and knowledge. It is crucial for us to meditate on scripture and spend intentional time to get familiar with His voice. Today, as we acknowledge God as the ultimate source of wisdom, truth, and light we pray that spiritual discernment increases.

I thank you that in this time of prayer and fasting, I am drawing near to you to lean not on my own understanding, but relying on your ways and your will. I ask that you sharpen my discernment, that you mature me in my faith and my understanding of the Holy Spirit. I pray that as I rely on you, you transform my heart, thoughts, and the lives of those around me for your glory. Amen!
