Discernmentthe process of determining God's desire in a situation
“The key to discernment is to slow down and through prayer, conversation, and reflection, lay the issue before God. This necessarily involves moving to the place where we are enabled to detach ourselves
from the outcome we desire–holy indifference.”
-Jeff Gissing
-Theresa Blythe
“Can you be at peace with whatever God shows you in this discernment, regardless of the outcome? If not, ask God to help with that? Do you desire to know what God wants in this situation? If there is a fear or a block, acknowledge it and ask God for help.”
