More and more i see it as a gift im starting to need. I keep running into people who seem nice at first but then show theyre true colors months later. 

I just have zero discernment when it comes to people in general and i wind up with crappy people around me. Recently i had someone. I really trusted turn on me... There were no sigbs or clues... It just happened. 

 

Sometimes i wonder if its avoidable... Or if its simply life. But im coming to the point i just want to isolate myself because i cant trust people and i dont see their BS coming. 

 

Is discernment something you can ask for? Or does it have to be a gift God blesses you with?

How closer you are to God how more discernment He will give you,read His Word and ask Him to give you the discernment you need at the time you need it,God is good and will help you to understand what is going on, your job is to surrender to God.

Are you a born again Christian who accepted Jesus as his Savior?First things first ,seek Jesus  first and all those things shall be added on the you.Seek and ye shall find.

Maybe ask the Lord to see people in a different light,they all need Jesus,if you're a Christian your light will shine on the darkness where you work and people will see Jesus in you,the Lord puts us in  places where we don't expect to be to be a witness for Him ,let the people see by your conduct that Jesus lives in you,in the meantime pray if God wants you to have a different job that He will provide you with a different job ?

I try to pray for discernment half the time mostly,  but I know that I have to be careful about what voice i'm listening to I have to make sure that's it's the voice of God & not the voice of the father of lies

Can you not stay away from her or talk to your boss?

Hey always look for the better job for you! When you find it take it.

Think of this as a starting of discernment; the realization that you need to be discerning.

Step two; give thanks to God for step one.
