I didn't hear the word discernment until 2005, I had moved to Kentucky and was looking for a new church, I had went to one and something didn't seem right so I talked to my old pastor about it and he said that was great discernment and I needed to keep asking God to help me discern as we searched for a church home, we never found one but my children's dad didn't earnestly seek to find one, I later learned why but that isn't for this.
I know the bible tells us to ask for wisdom(James 1:5) and I'm embracing that, I will begin to pray for my children to have wisdom and seek it along with discernment.
There will be many things in our children's lives they'll have to face and it is our responsibility to teach them that they don't have to go at it alone. I pray often they will not walk away from God and if they do I ask that they not walk so far away that they can't find their way back to Him.
I also pray that I will be discerning, and I ask for wisdom today, I don't feel I'm no longer unworthy to ask God for anything but I know who I am in Christ that I can boldly and confidently come to Jesus and ask and have faith He will give me what I ask according to His perfect will. You too can have this confidence and pass it on to our children.
When you have that feeling to do something, do it and remember that God is directing your path.
