PRAYER FOR TODAY Heavenly Father, we come to You now and we thank You that You are a God of truth. Lord, we confess that it is so easy for us to bend the truth or to hide our real selves. Search our hearts today. Shine Your light into every corner and show us any deceit that might be lurking there. Give us the courage to be honest, not just with others, but with ourselves and with You. We want to dwell in Your house. We want to be established in Your presence. So make us people of integrity, people whose word is their bond. We ask this in the strong and truthful name of Jesus. Amen.
