Prayer for Truth

Father,

Thank You that You have shown us the truth in Jesus Christ! Jesus, we know that You are the truth as Your Word says. Thank You that we can know the truth and it will set us free according to John 8:32. We ask that the Holy Spirit continues to lead us into all truth and testify about Jesus. We ask that You open our eyes to see the wonderful truths in Your instructions according to Psalm 119:18. Help us to hold fast to the truth and be discerning of deceptive doctrines, even in the church. Let us love the truth, submit to its authority and know its power over bondage and lies. Anoint our lips to speak the truth in love, and let us love not only in words or speech but in actions and truth. Give us boldness in the world to stand for Your truth and not conform to the patterns of this world.  We ask for the great joy of knowing that our children are walking in the truth, and help us to lead them in Your truth. We thank You for the armor of God including the belt of truth that we can hold it closely to us and let it fully surround. We speak the truth of Jesus over marriage, family, children, purity, identity and the purpose of our lives! We ask that the truth would have its way in this generation and that deception and confusion would be broken off in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
