Remember, you have 24 hours to fast and pray. Don’t feel as though you must pray everything at one sitting. This is simply a guide to help us pray together in unison. If you are fasting, drink lot’s of water. When you get hungry, pray!

Do not let kindness and truth leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Proverbs 3:3

Truth in the world seems to be an inconvenience and an annoyance. We experience so much falseness and lying that we have become accustomed to it. Advertisers consider falseness “harmless exaggeration”. Courts “reinterpret” truth to fit a narrative. Politicians campaign and lead falsely “for my constituents”. Media “journalists” read prepared scripts to appease their corporate interests. People lie to one another without conviction.

Truth yields peace and confidence; falseness yields chaos and fear. Our world is sick with lies and falseness. Today we will pray for truth in the world in a variety of areas.

The next 24 hours of prayer are dedicated to truth in the world. Use the suggested prayer items as a guide and add others as you are led by the Holy Spirit.
