Paul's fourth key to joy is intercessory prayer—specifically praying that the Philippians' love would grow in knowledge and discernment, not just sentiment. Risley emphasizes that biblical love involves truth and requires wisdom for each unique situation, comparing spiritual growth to teaching children chores—messy and time-consuming at first, but ultimately fruitful. She addresses the overwhelming nature of loving people well by pointing to the feeding of the 5,000, where Jesus repeatedly refilled his disciples' supply, illustrating how we must continually return to God for the love, patience, and wisdom needed to serve others in ways that bring glory to him.
