I will pray for you and your church to have genuine courage and genuine love for each other so that honest open conversations with each other can occur.

In a way I have been praying for this for myself using the words, "Oh Lord, let me live in truth. Let us live in Truth." It takes courage from God, and discernment, to talk about what one has read about with others. But, to withhold truth from them seems deceptive to me. Seeking God's guidance and examining myself (motivation, consequences, etc.) is desirable, but I gotta admit that I don't always do this. My conduct is inconsistent. Still, this is my prayer. There is One relationship that I can do this with, because He already knows all about me--my thoughts, stuff I have forgotten, stuff I don't even know about. That's why it is good to go to Him first.

Anyway, while I am talking to Him, I will lift you and your church family up too.
