Oh Holy God,
May those children of The Body, those called by Your Name be lovers of the Truth. May they buy the Truth, spending everything they have in its purchase, and never, ever sell It. May Truth give their spirits such Light that everywhere they go, the Light shines out dispelling the darkness, refuting the lies, foiling the schemes and devices of the evil one. May they allow Your Truth to penetrate to the very marrow of their beings, leaving no corner of their souls in darkness. May they learn to wield Truth in Love for the purpose of Conviction that leads to Repentance and Restoration. May they not only love Truth, may they act on it, doing whatever You ask in complete, instant, cheerful obedience. You are Truth. To contain Truth is to contain You. May the children of The Body be vessels fit to contain You. Fit to hold the drink offering of their lives, poured out in Your service. Poured out to the last drop. Will You increase the capacity of their souls to receive more of You? With every year, day, hour that passes, will You allow them to receive You in a fuller, deeper, wider measure. May they go forth in boldness, proclaiming Truth to a world blinded by lies and shadows. May Your Truth, wielded in Love by the children of The Body, set the captives free. Oh Father, through them, will You stir up a Love of Truth in this city that will testify to Who You Are? Will You grow in them the Boldness that fears no man? May they never compromise the Truth. May they walk in It from a young and tender age. May their parents, or those in authority over them help them to cultivate this Love of Truth. May they have those who are of like mind around them to encourage. May the tide be turned in this city, Father, so that every single knee bows before You, declaring the Truth of Who You Are.
