A Prayer for Monday, July 23, 2012

Discernment

As we enter into this new week, O God, we need to better develop the gift and skill of discernment.

Help us to grow in our ability to discern good from bad, better from good, and best from better.

Help us to grow in our ability to discern our true self, the self you mean for us to be, from our false self, the self we put forth to fit in, to make do, and to cover up.

Help us to grow in our ability to discern your will from our wants and from our culture’s expectations.

Develop, O God, the gift and skill of discernment in us.

Amen.
