Here are 12 of the biggest lies I’ve heard people tell:
I’m not going to let him (or her) hurt me anymore.
I don’t need any help.
I’ve got this under control.
I’m only going to try it one time.
God and I have an understanding.
I’m a self-made man. (Or woman)
I can stop anytime I want to.
That would never happen in my marriage.
Be honest with me. I can take it. I won’t be mad.
I don’t have time.
I’ll call you soon.
I’ll be praying about that.
here is one that I used believe…….
I'm not good enough for God…
Yep. Sadly many do.
I do church at my home, I don’t need to be apart of a church to be a Christian
I almost used that one. Glad you did.
Another lie is 'I can't'.
Yes
I’m not trying to be difficult… OR I don’t mean to offend you but…
I forgot
I tried to call you
My cell phone died
I sent you a text
I’m leaving in a few minutes or I will be there in a few minutes
Funny

I did not mean it, I was just joking. Sure you were….
Yep
Funny how I is in every single one of those!
Interesting. Didn't even catch that myself.
What about "I'm doing okay" – which I usually use when I either don't have time to get into how I'm really doing, or I simply don't trust the person asking.
Very true.

One I hear a LOT: I LOVE to read the Bible, but….
As it pertains to "I'll be praying about that" I can honestly say it would bother me when people would say it and even more when I said it and quickly realized I forgot to, YIKES!! So I keep a prayer journal. I carry it with me everywhere I go. When someone gives me a prayer request I take the time to write it down. It has been awesome to truly partner in prayer with people and to know that when I say "I'll be praying for you" I really am!!
Great idea.
