Then Balak said to Balaam, “Fine, but if you won’t curse them, at least don’t bless them!”26But Balaam replied to Balak, “Didn’t I tell you that I can do only what the Lord tells me?”

“Alas, who can survive unless God has willed it?

Lord God my Father,

I ask you to bring truth to me and close my eyes to the deceit of this world. I pray Lord for your truth to be all I see.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
