From the highest heights to the lowest depths your truth and your words are proclaimed. All your words are true and just. We need your truth poured into our hearts through your word. May it be that we filter every “truth” we hear through your Holy Scripture. Thanks that your Name and your Words are exalted above all else and your Word is truth. Thank you that you made it for us so that we could know the truth and it would set us free. (John 8)
But sometimes we get off your truth track. We let a little deception creep in. A little sin pollutes our stream. Our waters that are pure get salty. We need a flush of your Spirit to clean us and our stream so that out of us flows abundant life giving water to us, our families and our friends. Clean us, purify us and give us truth through the power of washing by your word and the blood of your son Jesus.
In opposition to your truth o God, Satan has come and he tells us lies. Every area where we have a loss of hope is a lie believed from the enemy and a foothold given to the devil. Help us to cancel these lies by replacing them with your truth. The more we confess your word to ourselves the more we will believe your truth. Help us to believe the truth of your word more than the circumstances that we see.
Help us O God to call a lie a lie. To route out the deception of the enemy in our lives. Train us to cut ourselves free from these lies. Show us that the Son of Man was made manifest that he might destroy the works of the devil (especially his lies). Because then when we cast off these lies that hinder us, we can embrace your truth that sets us free indeed. God we need your help. This is often too much for us. Show us the way to walk in your truth. Show us how to pray about it. Show us how to love it, lean on it, press into it and give it away as life-giving lovers of people. May it all be to your glory forever and ever. Yay God and Amen.
