Being honest with God – Prayer for October 14. We can think so much about what others think of us that it paralyzes us. We are always afraid to give the wrong impression.

Bible Verse for Today
“Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God.” (2 Corinthians 4:2)
People like to listen to what others have learned through their problems, weaknesses, and mistakes. This relaxes them because people identify with others.
Besides, they hope that they will be able to cope with their difficulties because, despite all the things that have happened in others’ lives, they have made it.
God just wants us to be open and honest with Him

Do not hide your mistakes. Admit them so that you can learn from them. As long as you are open and honest and trust God, you can overcome everything.
Be honest with God about your thoughts, feelings, and mistakes. God wants us to come to Him with everything on our minds. Even though we might not be able to see a way through all our problems, He always can.
