But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Hebrews 5:14
Through intentional prayer and fasting, we seek first God’s Kingdom by asking for an increase in our spiritual discernment. We all have desires, dreams, and wishes. God divinely inspires some, and some are our own will.
How do we decipher what our will versus God’s will is?
We discern by leaning into the Holy Spirit and asking the Lord for more spiritual discernment. We ask the Holy Spirit to help identify our will and be honest with ourselves (and God) when we struggle to release an outcome to Him.
We can build our discernment by considering whether a decision or situation brings us closer to God.
Is the outcome creating character in you that is a reflection of Christ or producing Fruit of the Spirit?
As you open your heart to the will of God and spend time quieting yourself in His presence, He will meet you amid any decision you face. God teaches us to seek, understand, and rely on the Spirit of God. We must meditate on scripture and intentionally get familiar with His voice.
Today, as we acknowledge God as the ultimate source of wisdom, truth, and light, we pray that our spiritual discernment increases.
