I lie. You lie. We all lie.
Romans 3:23 (my own version)
All have lied and fall short of the glory of God.
Why lie?
John 8:33 (CEV)
… everything he [the devil] says is a lie. Not only is he a liar himself, but he is also the father of all lies.
I lie because I’m hanging out with the wrong guy.
Good morning, Lord. Forgive me for lying — to avoid the consequences of my actions, to impress others, even to convince myself that I’m not so bad. Forgive me for listening to the enemy’s lies, his whispers telling me lying will be good for me.
Teach me to own up to my own mistakes, to be honest but not hurtful, to tell the truth without exaggerating. Remind me that You’ve seen it all, and You’re always listening.
