Lord God of truth, who calls me to absolute honesty in everything I say, I renew my commitment to tell the truth. It’s so easy to shade the truth, spin the facts, and withhold information. In a world where people no longer even expect to hear the truth, or what is worse, see the need consistently to speak it, make me a straight arrow who hits the target of truth. In this quiet moment of prayer with You,
Father, I confess any untruth I have spoken or implied. Help me be a person on whom others always can depend on answering honestly. Especially keep me from those little white lies that later on need big black lies to cover them up. As I pray this prayer I realise that my renewed pledge to speak, live, and stand for truth brings an immense release inside. There is a wonderful freedom that comes from integrity that is not for sale at any price. Today, help me to look people in the eye and speak with no equivocation. May the reliability of my word earn me the right to express words about Your love, forgiveness, and faithfulness. Make me sensitive to the power of words to communicate comfort and encouragement in Jesus Name I pray. Amen. Shalom
