I know, my God, that You test the heart, and that You are pleased with integrity (1 Chronicles 29:17). Your Word informs us that the man of integrity walks securely (Proverbs 10:9), and that righteousness guards the man of integrity (Proverbs 13:6). And You tell us that the righteous man leads a blameless life; blessed are his children after him (Proverbs 20:7).
Dear God, I desire to walk in integrity, and to follow its guidance in my life by always choosing to do what is right (Proverbs 11:3). According to my dictionary, Integrity is “the state of being compete or undivided”. To me that suggests righteousness, uprightness, to do without wavering, to be blameless — to have singleness of heart or mind.
You promised that we could be Your people and You would be our God (Zechariah 13:9); to give us singleness of heart and action, so we will always fear You for our own good and the good of our children (Jeremiah 32:38-39).
I wish to be like Jesus, who was known as man of integrity that teaches the way of God in accordance with the truth (Matthew 22:16). In everything You give me to do, I wish to set an example by doing what is good (Titus 2:7). I want to be able to stand boldly before You and confidently say: “Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, according to my integrity, O Most High” (Psalm 7:8). I want to lead a blameless life, to trust in You without wavering (Psalm 26:1). Like David, I want to help shepherd Your people with integrity of heart (Psalm 78:72).
I can only do this as I rely on You, for You alone are perfect (Psalm 50:2). Thank You for giving us the Lord Jesus, for by His offering He made forever perfect in Your sight all those whom He is now making holy (Hebrews 10:14 TLB). I confess I am not yet perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me (Philippians 3:12). I want to take to heart Jesus’ words: to (act and do) be perfect [growing into complete maturity of godliness in mind and character, having reached the proper height of virtue and integrity] as You, Father, are perfect (Matthew 5:48 AMP).
Please, dear Father, forgive my sins of disobedience and teach me the right way to live (2 Chronicles 6:27). Teach me Your ways, O Lord, and lead me in a straight path to You (Psalm 27:11). As You teach me to be true to what is right, I will be able to walk in integrity. Then, as I to walk in integrity, I will let the Word of Christ Jesus dwell in me richly in all wisdom (Colossians 3:16), and whatever I do in word or deed I will do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to You, Father, through Him (Colossians 3:17). I realize this is a key to personal integrity in my life.
O God, keep my soul, and deliver me. Let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in You. Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait on You (Psalm 25:20-21). Show me Your ways, O Lord, and teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me for You are the God of my salvation, and I wait on You (Psalm 25:4-5). Dear Father, Your Word is truth (John 17:17), and it guides me. Your Word is a lamp unto my feet and light unto my path (Ps 119:105), and I want to walk always in the light of Your Word.
I thank You that You promise to uphold me in my integrity and set me in Your presence (Psalm 41:12).
