John 17:17 Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.

When Jesus was preparing Himself for all He had to endure, He made sure everyone was included in his prayers; here the disciples are targeted.

Jesus wants to make sure the disciples continue to believe in the truth and to share the truth; He also wants things to be written down for others to be able to read the truth.

What a powerful prayer – that we should not just be sanctified but that we should be able to spread the word because of it being written down by men of God at that time!

Psalms 25:5 Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Saviour, and my hope is in you all day long.

This is something we should be praying every day!

Our bibles contain what we believe is the Word of God; whilst it may well be written by human hands and hence have human mistakes, God is still here and wants us to be taught the truth.

If we are willing to wait for answers, our prayers can be lifted, and we can get answers for those prayers.

Jesus Christ came to give us salvation and a way through which our prayers will reach God and be answered!

Galatians 5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

If we were sheep, we would tend to follow the shepherd because they are the one’s looking out for us and trying to keep us safe – we have learned to trust them.

If we were blind, we would have to trust whoever or whatever is leading us – again we would learn to trust them fully.

As humans we are like blind sheep; we need to be led by someone we trust and someone who is always going to keep us safe. Christ is our shepherd and the Holy Spirit is our guide – learn to trust them entirely!

Romans 7:18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.

We all like to think we are good, and some will uphold that title as compared to others here on earth… but deep inside each one of us is a nature which leads to sin.

This comes from the world around us and we learn it every day as we live in the world…

We all would like to be able to do the right thing all the time, but because of our sinful nature, we tend to get carried away at times and do things we should not be doing!

We all do – how we deal with it is different.
