Petition 3.15 | ESV

To lead us into and keep us in the way of truth; and if in anything we are in error, to rectify our mistake.

Let the Spirit of truth guide me into all truth, John 16:13(ESV) and make me understand how I have gone astray. Job 6:24(ESV)

Teach me what I do not see; Job 34:32(ESV) and enable me to test everything, so as to hold fast to what is good. 1 Thessalonians 5:21(ESV)

Lord, grant that I may not be as a child, tossed to and fro and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning; rather, speaking the truth in love, may I grow up in every way into Christ, who is the head. Ephesians 4:14-15(ESV)

Lord, give me so to do your will, as that I may know that the teaching is from God; John 7:17(ESV) and so to know the truth, as that the truth may set me free, John 8:32(ESV) may set me free indeed. John 8:36(ESV)

Enable me, I pray, to follow the pattern of sound words that I have heard in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus, 2 Timothy 1:13(ESV) and to continue in what I have learned and have firmly believed. 2 Timothy 3:14(ESV)
