Today's Prayer

Lord, you tell us that when the Spirit of Truth comes, we will be guided. I breathe a sigh of relief because today it is awfully hard to know what truth might be. I once looked to our leaders to tell us the truth and that has proven to be faulty information or down right and deliberate lies. I might have believed for a time that our journalists would share the honest truth but now I know that truth is misdirected depending on a news agency’s ideology or more to the point, its funding sources. I wanted to believe that I could find the truth in the Church. Yet, that differs depending on the individual church. I would give up entirely except for your word. You have sent the Spirit of Truth to us. I can breathe again. Yes, Lord, in the breathing, I believe I can find Your Truth. Your Spirit resides within me and the Truth is here. I glorify Your name, Lord. By Rev. Dr. Jacquelyn Brannen, Katahdin District Superintendent John 16:12-15
