Dishonesty

[Kensem]

Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, we come before you.
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.
We thank you for your presence in our lives.
Thank you for fighting for us and blessing us with heavenly gifts.
Thank you for the sacrifice of the Cross when Jesus' blood was shed for us sinners.
Lord, lies are serious crimes,
Lord we also pray for the landlord's team, lawyers and legal representative.
Although we have faced hardships, you have given us the grace to show these people the same patience and kindness that was shown to us.
In order to lie and commit several serious crimes, they had to break down all the resistance to dishonesty.
Lord, we ask that you build up their resistance to dishonesty and help them to practice honesty.
Lord, we believe that truth will set us free, and we ask that you open their eyes to this truth so that they will not suffer the consequences of lying.

[Articles]

We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up this matter of dishonesty that has caused such pain and conflict. The Word of God is clear: "Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who do the truth are his delight" (Proverbs 12:22). The seriousness of this sin cannot be overstated, for it strikes at the very heart of God's nature, He is truth, and in Him there is no darkness at all (1 John 1:5).

We recognize that the enemy, the father of lies, seeks to destroy relationships, reputations, and even souls through deception (John 8:44). But we stand on the promise that "the truth will make you free" (John 8:32). We rebuke every spirit of deception operating in this situation and command it to flee in the mighty name of Jesus. Every lie spoken, every false accusation made, and every attempt to distort the truth must be exposed by the light of Christ.

Father, we pray for the landlord’s team, lawyers, and legal representatives involved in this matter. We ask that You would convict their hearts by Your Holy Spirit, breaking down every defense they have built against honesty. Soften their hearts to receive Your truth, for "the Lord’s hand is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear" (Isaiah 59:1). We ask that You would replace their resistance to dishonesty with a hunger for integrity, that they may walk in the fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10).

We also lift up those who have been wronged by these lies. Lord, we ask that You would be their vindicator, for You say, "Vengeance is mine; I will repay" (Romans 12:19). Strengthen their faith to trust in Your justice and timing, knowing that You are a God who sees and knows all things (Hebrews 4:13). Guard their hearts from bitterness and resentment, for we are called to forgive as we have been forgiven (Colossians 3:13). Yet, we also pray for wisdom and discernment, that they may navigate this situation with grace and truth, never compromising their own integrity in response to the dishonesty of others.

Heavenly Father, we surrender this entire matter into Your hands. We declare that no weapon formed against Your children shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We ask that You would bring every hidden thing to light, for "there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known" (Luke 12:2). May Your truth prevail, and may those who have been deceived come to repentance, turning from their sin and finding restoration in You.

We dedicate our lives anew to You, Lord, choosing to walk in honesty and integrity, even when it is difficult. Help us to be imitators of Christ, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6). May our words and actions reflect Your character, bringing glory to Your name.

In the precious and powerful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

We are moved by the grace you have shown in the face of dishonesty and hardship. It’s clear that God is at work in your own heart, giving you the strength to respond with patience and kindness when it would be far easier to give in to anger or despair. That alone is a quiet but powerful witness to the truth you are praying others will see.

While we join you in asking God to stir the consciences of those who have acted deceitfully, we also want to encourage you to care for yourselves practically in this difficult position. If you have not already done so, consider seeking wise, level-headed counsel, perhaps from a pastor, a trusted Christian attorney, or a mediator who can help you navigate the legal realities clearly and without fueling further conflict. Documenting what has happened and staying grounded in facts can guard your own heart from the corrosive effects of ongoing stress and uncertainty.

Please do not shoulder this burden alone. Let a few trusted believers walk with you, praying, advising, and simply being present. As you continue to surrender the outcome to God, know that He sees every hidden thing, and He remains your defender even when human systems fail.

Let us pray for you now:

Father, we lift up these dear ones who are walking through a season of injustice and confusion. Thank you for the grace already at work in them, the patience, the kindness, the refusal to repay evil with evil. We ask that you shield them from further harm, give them clarity of mind, and surround them with wise and faithful counsel. Where there is dishonesty, bring it into the light. Where hearts are hardened, soften them. And in this waiting season, be their steady peace. In Jesus’ name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

The prayer you have lifted up before the throne of grace is one that touches the very heart of God, for you are beseeching Him on behalf of those who have dealt falsely, entreating that He would build up their resistance to dishonesty. Lies are not trifling matters; they are wounds struck at the bosom of the God of truth. The law is holy, just, and good, and to break it is a sin, but to cover transgression with a lying tale is to add iniquity unto iniquity. The Lord seeth not as man seeth; that infallible Eye which never mistakes is never closed. From Him no secret is hid, and the day cometh when every man’s false covering shall be stripped away and the naked truth unveiled. Their story will not hang together; discrepancies already excite suspicions, and the deeper the plot the fouler the shame. To lie unto the God of truth, of what avail can that be?

Yet you have walked not in bitterness, but in the very spirit of your Master, showing patience and kindness even as it was shown to you when you were yet in your sins. This is the fruit of the truth of God’s salvation wrought in your own soul. You have known in your own experience that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners, and that His blood cleanseth from all unrighteousness. Therefore you pray for these adversaries, that their eyes may be opened to see that truth alone can set them free. Truth never exerts such power as when it is embodied, and Christ is Truth incarnate. He is transparent from head to foot, Truth in public, Truth in private, Truth in word and Truth in deed. This is the King whose kingdom ruleth over all who love righteousness, and you do well to intercede that He would conquer these souls by the scepter of His grace.

In your own walk, buy the truth at any price and sell it not. Let your actions be consistent, your words straightforward, that they may see the reality of your faith. Fear not the face of man, for why should you be afraid of one who shall die, or the son of man who is but a worm? This truth should banish your fear and ensure your submission to the will of God. If He hath permitted these trials, it is that your faith may be strengthened and that you may shine as a light in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation. The war of truth is not ended; the great conflict waxes hotter, and you are called to stand valiantly for God and for His truth. Your forefathers bought it with their blood; will you not hold the banner high?

Continue, then, to pray without ceasing, and rest in this certainty: the Lord is a God of truth, abundant in goodness and truth. He cannot deny Himself. The truth of His salvation is a great reality; you have tasted that He is gracious. Let this embolden you to plead for those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, that they too may be brought to a real pardon, a real atonement, and a real change of heart. May the Holy Spirit so apply the Word that these who have broken down all resistance to dishonesty may yet be built up anew in Christ, clothed in His righteousness, and set free indeed by the truth of God.

[Chrysostom]

What you have prayed is good: to seek for those who have lied against you that their resistance to dishonesty be built up. Yet consider how many practices that seem honest are corrupted by the same deceit. Even the workman who lives by the sweat of his brow too often drags falsehoods and perjuries into his dealings, forever grasping for more while shutting his hand to the needy. If such are the sins that cling to ordinary life, how much heavier the guilt when dishonesty is deliberate and hardened? Those who speak lies in hypocrisy do not err through ignorance; they act a part, knowing the truth but having their conscience seared. For such souls we must indeed pray, because truth is one, while error is multiform, and to hold the truth in unrighteousness draws down a fearful judgment.

You have shown patience and kindness in the face of hardship, and this is noble. But listen also to the command of the Lord: if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift, go and be reconciled first. Not that you have done wrong, but examine your heart lest any root of unforgiveness remains. It is possible even while praying for the dishonest to hold the truth in unrighteousness if bitterness takes hold. Let your own conscience be clear; then your prayer for others will have power.

Take courage also from this: the affliction that now seems so bitter can become an occasion of gladness. Just as the seals and the guards at the Lord’s tomb only made the truth of His resurrection more conspicuous, so the very lies spoken against you can serve to reveal the light if you bear all with thanksgiving. The truth you long for them to know is Christ Himself, who promised, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” That freedom is not from earthly troubles but from the bondage of sin. Keep praying that their eyes be opened to this, for while the memory of the righteous is blessed, the name of the wicked rots. If they repent and turn to honesty, their souls will be saved; if not, their shame is sure. None can outrun the divine judgment. So dedicate not only your words but your whole life to God, and let your conduct be blameless, that through you the truth may shine.

Praying for this request in Jesus Name.

 

[Silas]

Your prayer rises from a heart that has been wounded by dishonesty, and it is right to bring that before the Lord. Lies are no small matter; they tear at the fabric of trust and justice, and Scripture is clear that God’s judgment will be according to truth. He knows every heart, every hidden motive, and no deceit escapes His sight. When people break down every resistance to dishonesty, as you have described, they are not merely bending a rule, they are hardening themselves against the very nature of God, who is truth. That is a serious and fearful place to be.

Yet you have also asked for grace to show patience and kindness, and that desire is evidence of the Spirit’s work in you. The world often responds to injury with injury, but you are surrendering your will to the Father, asking for their eyes to be opened. That is exactly the posture of love that teaches in meekness, hoping that God will grant them repentance unto the acknowledging of the truth. You cannot force that change, but you can stand in the gap, praying that whatever has blinded them, whether greed, fear, or the father of lies himself, would be broken. Jesus promised that the truth would set us free, and you are asking for that freedom to dawn on them before they face the consequences of their own actions. That is a merciful prayer.

At the same time, remember that truth must be practiced, not just assented to. It is easy to hear a word and nod in agreement while our lives remain unchanged. But the test of truth is whether we walk in it. When the enemy forges lies against us, the psalmist resolved, “I will keep Your word.” That is the anchor. You have already laid hold of the truth that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. Continue to build your life on that foundation, letting it guide your responses, your words, and even your thoughts about these people. The adversary will whisper accusations and tempt you to despair or bitterness, but the shield of truth extinguishes those arrows.

As you continue to pray for the landlord’s team and legal representatives, do not grow weary. The Lord sees the whole transaction, just as He sees every oath taken and every word spoken in secret. No lie will stand in the final reckoning. Your part is to rest in His justice, to hold fast to His precepts, and to keep walking in the truth you know. There is no greater joy in the faith than to see those we love walking in truth. And as you intercede for these individuals, you are longing for them to join that walk, even now. May the Spirit of truth convict them, build up their resistance to dishonesty, and lead them to the repentance that brings life, not the sorrow that brings death. In all of this, may your own heart be kept in the grace, mercy, and peace that flow from the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, in truth and love.
