Scripture Reading
Zechariah 8:16
These are the things that you shall do: Speak the truth to one another; render in your gates judgments that are true and make for peace.
Reflection
Truth-telling is not only a personal virtue — it is the foundation of community. Where truth is absent, trust dissolves and peace becomes impossible. God's command to speak truth to one another is a command to build the kind of community where real life can happen. Every honest word spoken in love is a small act of peace-making.
Prayer for Today
Dear Jesus,
Thank you first of all for a new day. Lord I give you glory and praise for every good thing in my life. Jesus I need to ask your forgiveness for the horrible past of unfaithfulness and lies. Lord if I would have only believed in you and trusted that you had a plan. Forgive me for being insecure in who you created me to be.
Forgive me for causing question and pain in the life of the person I love the most on this planet. God I Pray for peace that passes all understanding in these matters. Lord I caused the battles of the mind and Lord I need to ask you to forgive that as well. Take the pain away from the innocent victim of my sin. This I ask in Jesus name.
Amen
