Happy Sunday. 🙏
I have never felt the need like I do now to pray for discernment.
If I catch someone lying or distorting facts to support their argument, I immediately distance myself from them. I also don't stay silent about it. I make sure to share with as many people as possible the manipulation of facts. Unfortunately, this has resulted in me being blocked or removed from certain groups and platforms. But if I’m blocked by those I push back on, that means I’m over the target and correct. 🤷‍♀️
It is not easy. I have been fooled and shared misinformation. But as soon as I know it is wrong, I immediately admit it to those I have shared. I also will never trust anything from those who have deliberately lied, and never corrects the lie when confronted. Period.
I challange us all to pray a prayer like the following every morning because in such a time as this it is going to get even harder.
🙏 Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today, seeking strength and guidance as we navigate through these challenging times. We acknowledge that we are engaged in a spiritual battle, and we need your protective armor to face the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lord, we ask you to help us put on the full armor of God each day. Clothe us with the belt of truth, that we may stand firm in your Word and reject the lies and deceptions of the enemy. Equip us with the breastplate of righteousness, guarding our hearts and guiding our actions to align with your will.
Grant us the readiness of the gospel of peace, that we may bring your message of love and salvation to those around us. Place upon our heads the helmet of salvation, protecting our minds from doubt, fear, and negative influences. Give us the shield of faith to extinguish the fiery arrows of doubt and to trust in your promises.
Finally, Lord, help us take up the sword of the Spirit, which is your Word. Give us a hunger for your truth and the wisdom to wield it effectively against the enemy's lies. Strengthen our prayer lives, that we may communicate with you constantly and seek your guidance in all things.
Lord, we commit ourselves to you and your protection. May we be vigilant in putting on the armor of God each day, knowing that with you by our side, we can overcome any obstacle and stand firm in our faith.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
