| Written by Mark Yale | Print | Email | Hits: 896

Prayer for protection

Everyday, many of us deal with many things,  as shred in another article (Armor of God, see link below), this and the other prayer maybe recommended to prayer every morning along with other prayers you have throughout the day. May this also protect you from your enemies...

Psalm 54 (KJV)

A Prayer for Protection

54 Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.3 For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.4 Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O Lord; for it is good.7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
As we prayer for protection,  always pray everyday starting in the morning with the Armor of God...

Falsehood

| Written by Mark Yale | Print | Email | Hits: 671

falsehood

[fawls-hoo d]
 
noun
  1. a false statement; lie.
  2. something false; an untrue idea, belief, etc.: The Nazis propagated the falsehood of racial superiority.
  3. the act of lying or making false statements.
  4. lack of conformity to truth or fact.
  5. Obsolete. deception.

Origin of falsehood

First recorded in 1250–1300, falsehood is from the Middle English word falshede. See false, -hood

Synonym study

1. Falsehood, fib, lie, untruth refer to something untrue or incorrect. A falsehood is a statement that distorts or suppresses the truth, in order to deceive: to tell a falsehood about one's ancestry in order to gain acceptance. A fib denotes a trivial falsehood, and is often used to characterize that which is not strictly true: a polite fib. A lie is a vicious falsehood: to tell a lie about one's neighbor. An untruth is an incorrect statement, either intentionally misleading (less harsh, however, than falsehood or lie) or arising from misunderstanding or ignorance: I'm afraid you are telling an untruth.
