Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”—John 8:31-32 (NLT)
Heavenly Father,
Help me always to remain faithful to what You have taught me through Your Word—so I can walk in the freedom that is found there.
Help me to understand that
to truly be Your disciple, I must study Your Word so You can reveal the Truth
of Your Word to me, through Your Holy Spirit. And I must purpose to be obedient
to all Your teachings, as I allow that Truth to guide me in all my affairs.
Don’t allow me to forget
that Jesus is that Truth—that He is, for us, the one true example of everything
that is right and just—and to follow Him is to follow after Truth.
Help me to steadfastly
cling to Him for He is the One who sets me free—free from my slavery to sin,
free from my inclination to deceive myself, free from the lies of the enemy and
free to choose eternal life with You.
May I always understand
that the freedom You give is freedom to walk out my life in obedience to
You—that as I am obedient to You, You make it possible for me to enjoy the full
benefits that come from being everything You intended for me to be here on
earth and to experience the total freedom of life everlasting with You in the
hereafter.
Help me always to remain faithful to what You have taught me through Your Word—so I can walk in the freedom that is found there.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
