"The man of integrity walks securely, but he who takes crooked paths will be found out." ~ Proverbs 10:9

In·teg·ri·ty

Integrity Self-Assessment:

• Am I living in alignment with God's will? or am I living according to my selfish desires?
• Do my actions match my words, or do I say one thing and do another?
• Am I the same person in all areas of my life or do I say and do things to adapt to whatever group I am with?
• Do I keep my commitments and my word or do I make empty promises and excuses?
• Am I truly being honest with God about all my thoughts, actions and behaviors... the ones that I don't really want to share with anyone (especially God)... the thoughts of lust, self-righteous anger, jealousy, judgment or resentment?
  

LORD, I pray that when I start to walk down the wrong path and stray from what I know is right (which I often do) that you will guide me back with a firm and gentle hand.
