Oh God! We Christians have failed to treasure truth. We do not seek it. We expect your truth to come to us through little or no effort of our own. We look to pastors and books to give us the truth instead of delving into the perfect source of truth- your word. Help me to seek the truth more diligently. Remind me that seeking takes effort. Because of our lack of seeking we are easily tricked by the Evil One. A modest facsimile of your truth fools us so often! Help us be more like those who are experts on counterfeit currency because they spend hours studying the real thing.
We are loathe to share your truth with others. It might offend them. They might disagree with us. O Lord, give us boldness. Especially give us boldness when sharing the truth about your son and the salvation we can have in him.
We are assaulted every day with lies. Please help us stand against these lies. We can only stand against them if we can recognize them. Please help us seek your truth. When we do recognize it, help us to stand firm for truth.
