Dear Jesus, I’ve heard that integrity is what we do when no one is looking. Well, because nothing is hidden from You, we both know that integrity is something I need more of. I need to commit to reflect Your truth— even when no one is looking. Your Word says, “whoever walks in integrity walks securely”. I want that security in my life. Help me to pursue a path of righteousness, guiding my thoughts, words, and actions with honesty. Lord, I acknowledge that the integrity of the upright guides them, while the crookedness of the treacherous brings destruction.1 I want my heart be filled with integrity and uprightness, preserving me as I wait for Your guidance.2 When faced with difficult decisions, grant me the courage to choose honesty over convenience.
Help me to remember the importance of speaking the truth to one another and to render judgments that are just and peaceful.3 Give me a spirit of love and truth to avoid any inclination to deceive or manipulate. Let me recognize that “better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways”.4 As I navigate my relationships, I pray that I am protected from the influence of bad company, which can lead me astray.5 Surround me with friends and mentors who exemplify good morals and integrity, encouraging me to grow in spirituality and godliness.
May I strive to be a model of good works in all respects,6 demonstrating integrity in every area of my life.
I am grateful for Your faithfulness, Lord, and I trust that You delight in my efforts to walk in uprightness. Help me to remember that my integrity is my shield and that I can rely on You for strength as I seek to live a life pleasing to You.7 Thank You for Your unending love and for the strength You provide in my journey toward greater integrity, in Jesus’ name, I pray.
