Deceit

The world around me seems built on deceit.

No one speaks the truth, only half-lies.

How do I survive in this place?

I know I must honor God

If I claim to be Christ's follower.

I will trust in God's lovingkindness

To deliver me from evil

As did the psalmist.

"The Lord is my rock,

And my fortress,

And my deliverer;

My God,

My strength,

In whom I will trust."
