Integrity
"The righteous lead blameless lives."
— Proverbs 20:7
God of truth,
It is sometimes tempting to take shortcuts, to compromise my values, to say one thing and do another. These small betrayals of myself erode my integrity.
Help me live with integrity. To align my actions with my values, my words with my thoughts, my public behavior with my private life. To be the same person everywhere, consistent, reliable.
May I look in the mirror and recognize the person I see. May my integrity be my anchor, my compass, what allows me to live at peace with myself.
Amen.

Reflection
Where is there a gap between your values and your actions? How could you find more integrity in that area?
For all those who struggle to live according to their values.
