Personal Prayer
Praise God as the God of truth. Thank him for replacing the facades of your life with the substantive realities of his truth. Confess any time you’ve rejected difficult aspects of that truth for the appealing glitter of Satan’s lies. Commit yourself to honesty with God, other people, and yourself. Ask God to lead you into fuller and fuller application of his truth to your lifestyle.
For Your Family and Friends
Pray that your children and those of your friends will be taught the truth about God and his world in their schools. Ask God to give special insight to all Christian teachers.
For the Church
Pray for the education departments of your local church and your denomination. Ask him to speak through them so consistently that the church becomes known as the City of Truth (Zech. 8:3).
For the Kingdom
Pray that God’s people will speak the truth to each other in all avenues of life, render true and sound judgment in the courts, and keep their word (8:16-17).
For People to Know Jesus
Pray that such truth-oriented living will break through the lies the Deceiver has used with unsaved neighbors. Ask God to speak his truth in love to one of them through you today.
