God, the Way, the Truth, and the Life,
Right now it seems that many things in our world are untrustworthy. Our society used to trust in media to inform us, education to enlighten us, government to protect us, the family to support us, and the Church to guide us toward you. Over the generations that trust has degraded, even dissolved altogether. And now we wonder if the vote counting process in this nation is fair, free, and trustworthy. The reports of fraud and corruption are mounting and it can be hard to know whether the reports are truthful or not. In the midst of all this distrust and upheaval, take us to the Truth in your Word. Guide us to trust that your Name is True and your Truth will set us free. Thank you for being our Way, our Truth, and our Life – especially when we realize the institutions and systems of this world are not trustworthy. Thank you for the confidence we can have in you as we rely on you – not our own insight or understanding – and acknowledge you. Make our paths towards you straight and smooth. And as we know your Truth in our individual lives, may we also know what is Truth in the life of this nation. Then guide us to the righteous response so that there can be abundant life, liberty, freedom, Truth, and justice for all. In Jesus’s name we pray, Amen.
Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. (Psalm 20:7 NIV)
“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32 NIV)
And do not rely on your own insight or understanding.
6 In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him,
And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way].”
