discernment

The patient practice of telling what is wise, true and good from what is only appealing, often with prayer, Scripture and trusted counsel.

In the Christian tradition, discernment is more than having an opinion. It is a habit of slowing down, asking what is true, what is good and what is mine to do, and testing the answer with others.

It matters more, not less, when tools can produce plausible answers instantly. Speed is easy to get. Wisdom still takes time.
