14 Praying for His Integrity
Dear Lord, I pray that my husband would be a man of integrity. Honest, Trustworthy, Dependable, Faithful. Help him keep his commitments firm and not renege on his promises (Psalm 15:4), following through on what he says he will do, making his yes be yes and no be no. (Matt 5:37)
Please keep him from justifying his actions based on what other men say or think. You know his heart. Just because others say it’s ok or the norm doesn’t mean you approve. (Luke 16:15).
Please fill him with your Spirit and guide him into all truth (John 16:13). If he has sinned in this area, please show him so he can confess and repent of any falsehood in his life. Thank you for your faithfulness to forgive even when he fails. (I John 1:8-9). And Lord, as he walks in integrity, relying on you, please protect him, vindicate him, uphold him, and guide him. (Prov 11:3, 26:1, 25:12)

Proverbs 3:3-8 Do not let truth and mercy leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will find favor and good understanding, in the sight of God and people. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding. Acknowledge him in all your ways, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own estimation; fear the Lord and turn away from evil. This will bring healing to your body, and refreshment to your inner self
