A Collect for Honesty with God

God of all knowledge, from whom we can hide nothing, grant us the resolve to be honest and to hide nothing from you, that we might openly bring all aspects of ourselves into relationship with you, where there is no condemnation, but only acceptance, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives in perpetual love with the Father and Holy Spirit. Amen.

'Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come back." The woman answered him, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You are right in saying, 'I have no husband'; for you have had five husbands, and the one you have now is not your husband. What you have said is true!"' - John 4:16-18
