Morning prayer
Day 16 · A day of integrity
Good morning. Before your day begins, take a pause. Breathe slowly and remember that God is here with you.
Praise
Psalms 84:10-1210For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. 11For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. 12O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
The Word
Proverbs 10:9He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.
Prayer
A day of integrity
Righteous Father, I want to live this day with integrity. May my words be true and my actions match what I say I believe. Keep me from the temptation to lie my way out of a tight spot, to exaggerate to look good or to take dishonest shortcuts. May my conduct be the same in public and in private, at home and away. Your Word says that whoever walks in integrity walks securely, and I want that confidence that comes from a clear conscience. If I fail today, give me the courage to admit it and set it right quickly. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

The Lord's Prayer
Matthew 6:9-13Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
