## Written prayer

Dear Lord, We trust that Your word is trustworthy. You don’t say you’ll do one thing and then do another. We can lean on your steady character. We ask that you give us that same trustworthiness. You call us to embody integrity and simplicity in our communication, urging us to be people whose words are enough. Lord, help us cultivate trustworthy and reliable characters so that we do not feel the need to bolster our words with oaths. Strengthen our resolve to be truthful in all our dealings so that our 'Yes' and our 'No' may stand on their own. May our words always align with our actions, providing a clear and consistent witness to those around us. Grant us the courage to live out our commitments, to fulfill our promises, and to abstain from what we have denied so that our conduct may honor You in everything. Teach us, O God, to value truth and faithfulness as You do, making us reflections of Your steadfast character. In the name of Jesus, we pray, Amen.
