Prayer: you are truth, but lying still tempts me


Lord, you are truth. You value truth in me. Yet, I have a confession to make. Sometimes I am tempted because cheating seems to be the easiest and quickest way to get what I want.  Forgive me for the times I have told lies, kept miscounted change, or misled my friends.  Grant that I shall come to love truth and hate lies – especially my own.  I want all my words and deeds to be free of sham and make-believe.  In the classroom, in games with my friends, as I trade at the store, help me to be trustworthy.  Day by day, I want to live in such close friendship with you that nothing will exist in my life that is counterfeit or insincere.  Amen.
