Philippians 1:9-11

1 Passage: Philippians 1:9-11

1 Verse:
Verse 9. And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment,

1 Prayer:
Forgive us, Father, for the pain and hurt we inadvertently cause those we love when we try to love them without knowledge and discernment. You say love covers a multitude of sins, but foolish and undiscerning love seems rather to create a multitude of sins. Protect us from our own ignorance and carelessness, the fears and lies that taint our best efforts to love one another. Please give us grace toward each other, so that we can persevere together even when we fail to properly love one another. And please increase our ability to know and to discern what real love requires, and give us the courage to abound in love to all.

Verse 10: so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ

Prayer: Lord, it is so easy to look at the things of the world and become infatuated with their false goodness. Please guide our minds to things that are truely excellent so that we can remain pure.
Andrew
