S – And I pray this: that your love will keep on growing in knowledge and every kind of discernment, ¹⁰ so that you may approve the things that are superior and may be pure and blameless in the day of Christ

Philippians 1:9–10 CSB

O – Paul desires for the believer to grow in their agape love (unconditional love) to grow in knowledge (recognition – practical) and discernment (spiritual perception).  This will allow the believer to discern what is best.  This gives them the ability to move towards it and move away from things that are not for their betterment.

A – This is a great prayer for us.  We need to have the ability to develop the practices that are going to bring daily growth for us physically, mentally and emotionally.  Adding discernment will allow us to recognize the spiritual elements that will affect us and give us insight into how to move toward God’s will.

R – Lord, I invite your Holy Spirit into my day in every aspect.  I pray that my love will grow for You and all those I will interact with today.  Help me to grow in my knowledge so I will recognize the things today that will help me take new steps in all areas.  Help me to grow in my discernment – I want to see things as you see them.  Thank you, God, for being with me today.
