And this I pray, that your love may abound
yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
That you may approve things that are excellent;
that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ; Being filled with the fruits of righteousness,
which are by Jesus Christ,
unto the glory and praise of God. Philippians 1:9-11
Lord,
In this day of compromise,
Help me discern wrong from right.
Keep me open that I might learn,
Issues and standards on which I must stand firm—
Against the fraud,
And for the rule of righteous law.
Help me, Lord, know truth from lies, and then,
Give me strength to stand forthright and strong.
Amen.
