A Prayer for Truthfulness

Father of truth;

Your son is the way in a lost world;

the life in a world of death;

and the truth in a world of lies.

Darkness, deception and falsehood lurk in our hearts. 

Give us hearts of truthfulness.

Forgive our deception.

Forgive our hypocrisy.

Forgive our weakness that seeks peace rather than godliness.

May loving truth be spoken by us and affirmed in others.

May those around us come to know that our word can be trusted;

Until that day when all the world lives in truth.

Amen
