Truth In Christ Alone



Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ.

—Colossians 2:8 (NLT)



Heavenly Father,


May my heart never be taken captive by any deception this world offers up as an answer to my search for Truth, but find my answers in the only One in whom I can find and know the Truth that sets me free—my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.


Let me not be satisfied with philosophies that are built on mere human thinking to satisfy my need to know the Truth—but always look to Your Word.

Help me not to be misled by man’s deceitful words—which, despite the fact that they sound right, are twisted to entrap my heart in lies, in order to lead me to destruction.

Keep me from blindly buying into the traditions of man as the Truth—things that have been done so long that they are presumed to be true—knowing that the spiritual powers of this world are lying in wait to capture me and keep me from the freedom that is found in Christ alone.


May my heart never be taken captive by any deception this world offers up as an answer to my search for Truth, but find my answers in the only One in whom I can find and know the Truth that sets me free—my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
