I Lied Today

I lied today, Lord. I opened my mouth and out the lie came. I could feel it falling off my lips. Yet, I felt incapable of stopping the lie. I think the one thing you are really asking of me right now is honesty--to walk in the truth. That means ceasing from all forms of lying—my overeating, my overspending, my talents and abilities. Yea, my inabilities! No more half truths (as if there were such a thing). I need your help, O, Lord! I have passed this sin off as being "cute"—just another aspect of the complex nature of being a woman. Forgive me. Help me to follow your Son, Who is Truth and to do your will. I don’t want to lie anymore. I want to face You as honestly as I possibly can, being human. Again, forgive me, Lord! 05/30/06
