We pray that you help us to stand in your word, to walk in truth and reality, not to be slow swayed by the world around us, by the enemy that wants to deceive us. Lord, I pray that we would become good teachers of those around us, that we would speak with love, that you would give us the right tone, and that you would provide us with your truth to be standing in. Help us, Lord, as we combat the lies of the enemy in Jesus' name, that we would speak with love, that you would give us the right tone, and that you would provide us with your truth to be standing in. Help us, Lord, as we combat the lies of the enemy in Jesus' name.
