Help me to understand the meaning of your commandments, and I will meditate on your wonderful deeds. – Psalm 119:27(NLT)
PRAYER FOR UNDERSTANDING TRUTH
A poem and essay by ILMA
Help me to understand the meaning of your word, Lord
Give me time to meditate on it to overcome this world
May your wisdom penetrate all human reasoning
May you give us discernment to have your understanding
May your truth pierce our hearts so we can be free
May we obey your commands so we will be able to see
May all our faculties seek you first in everything we do
May we remember to praise you and always seek the truth.

So many confusing teachings have penetrated people’s thinking. The enemy does everything to keep us from knowing the truth. He distracts us either subtly or outright. How do we protect ourselves from such dangerous tactics? It took me a long time to finally seek the truth. I had a long journey because I believed so many lies perpetuated by the enemy. It kept me over four decades in captivity. Satan stole many years of understanding. How he did it was so clever. He gave me half-truths and prevented me from really knowing the real truth by many distractions.
The bible tells us to ask God for help so we can understand the meaning of his commands and meditate o his wonderful deeds.
