Prayer
Jesus taught us to pray with honesty and dependence (Matthew 6:9-13).
Father, You see everything—the parts of my life I show and the parts I hide. I confess that integrity is hard when no one's watching. I want shortcuts. I want to look better than I am. But You made me for truth, not performance. Give me the courage to be the same person in private that I am in public. Guard my heart from duplicity. In Jesus' name, Amen.
