OPENING PRAYER DEAR GOD, HELP US TO FOLLOW IN YOUR FOOTSTEPS, AND TO LIVE EVERY DAY THAT WE ARE GIVEN WITH INTEGRITY. GUIDE US TO DO THE RIGHT THING EVEN WHEN NO ONE’S WATCHING. GIVE US THE COURAGE WE NEED TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES. GIVE US THE POWER TO IGNORE ANY PEOPLE THAT TRY TO BULLY US INTO MAKING WRONG DECISIONS AND REMIND US TO STAY ON YOUR PATH. TEACH US THAT DOING THE RIGHT THING MIGHT BE DIFFICULT, OVERWHELMING OR EVEN EMBARRASSING, BUT REMIND US THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THERE BESIDE US WHEN WE NEED HELP. TEACH US THAT IT DOESN’T MATTER HO W POOR, RICH, EDUCATED, POPULAR OR COOL WE ARE. WHAT DEFINES US IS HOW WE TREAT ONE ANOTHER WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING. WHAT DEFINES US…… .IS HOW WE LIVE WITH INTEGRITY. AMEN

QUESTIONS?
CLOSING PRAYER DEAR GOD, I AM FAR TOO OFTEN INFLUENCED BY WHAT OTHERS THINK OF ME. I AM ALWAYS PRETENDING TO EITHER BE RICHER, SMARTER OR NICER THAN I REALLY AM. PLEASE PREVENT ME FROM TRYING TO ATTRACT ATTENTION. DON’T LET ME GLOAT OVER PRAISE OR BE DISCOURAGED BY CRITICISM. SHOW ME HOW TO BE HUMBLE OF HEART LIKE YOU. HELP ME TO BE OBEDIENT AND READY TO DO YOUR WILL. MOST OF ALL HELP ME TO BELIEVE IN YOUR REVELATIONS. SHOW ME YOUR WAYS AND TEACH ME YOUR PATH. LET MY HEART ALWAYS IMITATE YOUR HUMILITY. AMEN
