A Prayer to Speak Truth

I have chosen the way of Truth; I have set my heart on Your laws (Psalm 119:30). Blessed are they who do not doubt the Lord (Matthew 11:6).

Father, I commit myself to walk in Your Word.  Your Word living in me produces Your life in this world.  I recognize that Your Word is integrity itself – steadfast, sure, eternal (Psalm 119:89). The Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12), and I trust my life to its provisions.  They are not just idle words for me. They are my life! By them I will live in the land (Deuteronomy 32:47).

You have sent Your Word forth into my heart.  I will let it dwell in me richly in all wisdom (Colossians 3:16).  I have been born anew of incorruptible seed, that is – the living and enduring Word of God (1 Peter 1:23).  Through Your great and precious promises, I can share in the Your divine nature and escape corruption from sinful desires (2 Peter 1:4). 

I choose to agree with Your Word, O Lord, and I choose to disagree with any thoughts, conditions, or circumstances contrary to Your Word. Jesus, In Your name and with Your strength and wisdom, I will learn to take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). I boldly and confidently say that my heart is fixed and established on the solid foundation – the Living Word of God.

Your Word of truth is my counsel, my shield, my buckler (Psalm 91:4), and my powerful weapon in battle (Ephesians 6:17).  Please direct my footsteps according to Your Word (Psalm 119:133), that I may go on my way in safety, for I trust in Your Word (Psalm 119:42).

Let my prayer be set forth as incense before You, the lifting of my hands as the evening sacrifice (Psalm 141:2).  He who brings an offering of praise and thanksgiving honors and glorifies You; and he who orders his way aright, to him You will demonstrate the salvation of God (Psalm 50:23).  Therefore, set a guard over my mouth, O Lord, keep watch over the door of my lips (Psalm 141:3).  My mouth shall be filled with Your praise and with Your honor all day long (Psalm 71:8).  Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You, so will I bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name (Psalm 63:3-4). 

I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in His Word I put my hope (Psalm 130:5). Lord God, put Your words into my mouth and cover me in the shadow of Your hand (Isaiah 51:16). Heavenly Father, please give me the tongue of the learned that I may know how to speak a word of truth in season to him who is weary (Isaiah 50:4).
