How To Grow In Discernment

How Can You Grow in Discernment?

1. Stay Rooted in God’s Word:

Scripture is the foundation of all spiritual discernment. The more we know God’s Word, the more we can detect what is not of God.

2. Pray for It:

Just like Solomon, we can ask God for a discerning heart. James 1:5 encourages us:“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”

3. Listen to the Holy Spirit:

The Spirit convicts, guides, and brings clarity. Be sensitive to His promptings, especially in moments of confusion or uncertainty.

4. Seek Wise Counsel:

Surround yourself with mature, Godly women who can speak truth into your life. Discernment is sharpened through community and accountability.

5. Practice Stillness:

In the busyness of life, we can easily react instead of respond. Quiet moments with God help you process, reflect, and hear more clearly.

As women, we are constantly making decisions—not just for ourselves but for those we care for. Discernment enables us to make wise, Spirit-led choices with clarity and confidence.
