Many blessings to all,
Our integrity is what the evil one often seeks to challenge. If we compromise our integrity in small ways, can it then be corrupted in ways greater? We often find ways to rationalize that which corrupts us, but such rationalization is self-deception, it plays to the hand of the evil one.
We will all fail in some way the challenges to our integrity. It is a great fight to keep it, but when we lose it, it is even a greater fight to regain it. Protect it well we must, for the evil one is constantly scratching at the door to rob us of it. Great leaders and teachers of faith have all fallen victim to temptations which compromise integrity.
We may question the matter of degree, but each chip weakens the tree and eventually, even the smallest of chips will make it fall. We are weak, easy prey for the evil one; it is only through the strength God grants to us through the Holy Spirit, that we may fight. It is only through the sacrifice of the only begotten Son of God through which we are saved should we fail. Through prayer we may ask for strength, through prayer we may give thanks for the sacrifice made so that if we believe in the Word made flesh, we may be invited to the table of everlasting life.
A simple prayer: Dear Lord, send upon me the wisdom of the Holy Spirit to help me recognize when I am about to risk my integrity so that I do not trade away my soul in its compromise.
A simple prayer: Dear Lord, grant me strength such that I am able to defend my integrity, so that I do not allow chips which will destroy me.
A simple prayer: Dear Lord, help me to be an example of Your word, that I do not compromise my faith or the faith of Your church.
A simple prayer: Dear Lord, protect me from the temptations of the evil one, so that I may not fall victim to his snares.
A simple prayer: Dear Lord, send the Holy Spirit and protect our leaders and teachers with guardian angels so that they do not fall victims to temptation which will not only compromise their soul but will lead astray the souls of others.
A simple prayer: Dear Lord, should I fail through my sin, in what I do and what I fail to do, help me to turn so that I may once more walk in righteousness.
A simple prayer: Dear Lord, I reflect upon the sacrifice You made for my sin; I can only ask in great humbleness that You accept my thanks in glory and praise for what You have done for me.
A simple prayer: Dear Lord, I thank You for Your mercy, Your grace, and the forgiveness You grant for our sins. I am not worthy, but in Your perfect embrace, I know I shall be healed.
“The honesty of the upright guides them; the faithless are ruined by their duplicity.” (Proverbs 11:3)
May the Lord be with you always,
Prayer Soldier
