Warrior Prayers...Day Four

Prayers for Day Four…

My greatest desire for my sons, after salvation, is to be able look at them in my twilight years and see that they have developed into men of integrity.  All of the other desirable characteristics are embodied in integrity—love, patience, trustworthiness, loyalty, perseverance, good work ethic, strength. 

Kenneth Boa said this about integrity:  “God is integrity. He does not merely act with integrity; integrity is his character. But what about us? The biblical virtue of integrity points to a consistency between what is inside and what is outside, between belief and behavior, our words and our ways, our attitudes and our actions, our values and our practice.”

Friends, a man of integrity doesn’t just show up.  A man of integrity is grown from seeds sown into the life of a boy of integrity—the same boy who is watching to see if you are a woman of integrity.  Show him that integrity is a virtue that is valuable and one that is pleasing to the Lord by consistency in your values and your practice, your attitudes and your actions, your words and your ways. 

“The righteous who walks in his integrity— blessed are his children after him! Even a child makes himself known by his acts, by whether his conduct is pure and upright.” (Proverbs 20:7, 11)
