Discernment

“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God.”
James 1:5

Reflection

Discernment separates observable behavior from stories about motives. It holds alertness and humility together.

PRAY

Lord, give me discernment without suspicion, alertness without paranoia, confidence without arrogance, and compassion without gullibility.

Amen.

DECLARE

I can observe carefully without pretending to know every motive.
