The time will come when people won't put up with true teaching. Instead, they will try to satisfy their own longings. They will gather a large number of teachers around them. The teachers will say what the people want to hear. The people will turn their ears away from the truth. They will turn to stories that aren't completely true.
But I want you to keep your head no matter what happens. Don't give up when times are hard. Work to spread the good news. Do everything God has given you to do.
--2 Timothy 4:3-5 (NIVR)
Heavenly Father,
Help me to always follow after the Truth of Your Word.
Don’t ever let me turn away from the true teaching of Your Word and go in search of teachers who twist the truth into something less, thinking I can satisfy my own selfish desires or justify a lifestyle that is not pleasing to You.
Help me to always follow after the Truth of Your Word.
Keep me from falling for the half-truths that false teachers would have me believe, turning me away from the Truth that sets me free and putting me in bondage to sin once again.
Help me to always follow after the Truth of Your Word.
Help me to keep my head straight and my discernment keen in every situation that You lead me through, no matter what it looks like, feels like or smells like in the natural, trusting in Your Truth to carry me.
Help me to always follow after the Truth of Your Word.
Give me strength to never give up as I work to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ and seek to do all that You have called me to do.
Help me to always follow after the Truth of Your Word.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
