Discernment in Prayer

Was at DUMC Prayer Confernce just now. Will probably blog about it after the whole thing finishes.

This entry I'd just like to focus on discernment in prayer.

During YA Camp there were a moment where we tried to discern what God is saying while praying for another person. So just now when I was praying for a brother, I asked God for discernment and I had a feeling to pray about a topic, but I wasn't sure whether that's just my thinking alone or that is actually from God.
But on our way back we had a short conversation and I guess my "discernment" wasn't too far off topic. Am quite excited that I can actually "hear" what God is trying to say and pray for another person.

When the brother prayed for me, he thank God for my passion and desire everything, but he prayed that above all I'll know God's love, and through knowing God's love that I'd know God's will for me.
When he said that I was reminded of what Ps. Lee Choo prayed for me during YA Camp. Though the wordings might be a bit different, but the core remains that I need to put more of God into myself and know God's love for me.


God, is that you speaking?
How then do I know your love?
By spending time with You in reading Your Word and prayer I guess.

Help me O God.

In Jesus' Name,
Amen
