Chapter 11 Following Truth, Rejecting Lies

Lord,
I pray that You will fill (name of child) with Your Spirit of truth. Give her (him) a heart that loves truth and follows after it, rejecting all lies as a manifestation of the enemy. Flush out anything in her (him) that would entertain a lying spirit and cleanse her(him) from any death that has crept in as a result of lies she(he) may have spoken or thought. Help her(him) to understand that every lie gives the devil a piece of her(his) heart, and into the hole that's left comes confusion, death and separation from Your presence. Deliver her(him) from any lying spirit. I pray that he(she) not be blinded or deceived, but always be able to clearly understand Your truth.
I pray that she(he) will never be able to get away with lying - that all lies will come to light and be exposed. If he(she) lies, may he(she) be so miserable that confession and is consequences will seem like a relief. Help me to teach her (him) what it means to lie, and effectively discipline her(him) when she(he) tests that principle. Your Word says that "when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth" (John 16:13). I pray that Your Spirit of truth will guide her(him) into all truth. May she(he) never be a person who gives place to lies, but rather a person of integrity who follows hard after the Spirit of truth.
