Dear God,

I always want to be on the way to truth, not truth as I create it but truth that is authentic, real and abiding.  Sometimes it is hard to know the real truth of things.  

Years ago I was inspired by the words of Jesus when he said we would know the truth and the truth would set us free.  From that day on I sought that kind of truth knowing it would not always be what I would want to hear but always wanted to know because I knew that would always keep me close to you.   Shades of truth could draw me to you but never keep me close if the truth was exaggerated, compromised or diminished.  When I seek the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, I have to take your outreached hand and walk the path that will lead me there.  When I have found it, hope, peace and joy meet me.  If I discover myself feeling uneasy, restless and doubtful, I realize I have only stumbled upon part of the truth and still need to search it.

Thank you,

Holy God,

for teaching me

how to

find you.

Please lead me 

to the truth,

your truth

and nothing less.

Help me

to tell

only the truth

so I too

can become

a bearer

of your truth

so that

I may

help set

people free.

Yours, Andrea
