When Lies Surround You
"Save me, Lord, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues."
Psalm 120:2
There are few things more painful than being misrepresented, or lied about.
Words have power, and when used wrongly, they can wound deeply.
The psalmist knew this pain and cried out to the Lord for deliverance from the voices that twisted truth and spread deception.
When lies surround us, we are tempted to defend ourselves, lash out, or let bitterness take root, that's pride and ego.
But the better response is prayer.
We cry out to the God of truth, who sees all and knows all.
He is our defender, and He is able to bring clarity, justice, and peace in the midst of confusion.
God is not just interested in protecting our reputation; He is also forming our character.
In the face of falsehood, He invites us to walk in integrity, to speak with grace, and to trust that He will make things right in His time.
If you are surrounded by lies or facing unfair words, bring it to the Lord.
Let Him be your refuge.
He hears every cry and holds every wound.
Let us pray,
Lord, You are the God of truth.
When we are surrounded by lies, protect our hearts from fear and our mouths from retaliation.
Help us to walk in integrity and trust You to defend us. Teach us to rest in the truth that You see all things clearly.
We place our reputation and our peace in Your hands.
In Jesus’s name, Amen
God is our defender, judge, jury and victory is his. Thank you my faithful father 🥰
