“Go up and down the streets of Jerusalem, look around and consider, search through her squares.  If you can find but one person who deals honestly and seeks the truth, I will forgive this city.  Although they say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives,’ still they are swearing falsely.”
Jeremiah 5:1-2 (NIV)

This week’s prayer guide will focus on some aspects of honesty that God expects us to have as His children.  While Jesus taught us to “let our yes be yes and our no be no”, we have become very good at justifying why our promises are not absolutes.  God’s people have often become very good at saying whatever it takes to gain support for their particular project while feeling no commitment to following through with the content of their words.  Honesty is vital, because without it we will never realize the need we have for a Savior.  It is also vital because it is the foundation for which trust is built not only among believers, but between believers and non-believers.  Pray that your honesty would not waver, especially when you find yourself in situation where honesty is not valued.  Pray that your honesty before God would be such that your words and actions match.

“You must have accurate and honest weights and measures, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.”
Deuteronomy 25:15 (NIV)

As you pray this week, ask God to fill you with a desire for honesty and a conviction in the situations where you are less than honest.  Pray that you would be honest and impartial in your dealings with others.  Pray that God would help you to see, and change, any areas where you deal differently with people because of who they are.

“Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.” 
2 Corinthians 7:1 (NIV)

I believe most Christians, even most people, would agree that being pure is important — at least if the subject of purity is something that they value.  If I were to ask how pure a person thinks their drinking water should be, most people would say that being pure is an absolute necessity.  Yet many times we have learned to settle for less than pure in areas that God would want us to be pure in.  To know that something is pure requires a standard by which all else is measured.  When it comes to being pure, God has not only set the standard, He has given us a personal example in Jesus of what that standard looks like.  This week we will be praying about some things that God says should be pure in the lives of His children.  Pray that you would allow Him to continue to refine you as the impurities are removed from your life.  Pray that your desire to be pure would be lived in complete humility as you serve others.

“Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation.”
1 Peter 2:2 (NIV)

As you pray this week, ask God to help you be pure in His sight.  Pray that you would accept no contamination in the spiritual milk of God’s Word as you spend time in it each day.  Pray that you would develop a craving for the purity of God’s Word as you grow in faith.  Pray that the purity of God’s Word in your life would lead to growth and maturity.

“But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.”
James 3:17 (NIV)

As you pray this week, ask God to help you be pure in His sight.  Ask God to fill you with a wisdom that comes from above and is far greater than human wisdom.  Pray that your life would show to those around you what pure wisdom looks like in practice, not just in words.

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”
James 1:27 (NIV)

As you pray this week, ask God to help you be pure in His sight.  Pray that you would grow in an understanding of what God’s view of pure religion is.  Pray that you would seek to live out a pure religion as you care for people who have no one looking out for them.
