Journaling the Walk of Integrity: Prompts for Waiting, Listening, and Living with Truth

View the Bible Reading Plan for this Month: July



Integrity is not built in a single moment—it is cultivated in the quiet, unseen places of your life. It grows stronger as you learn to wait well, speak truthfully, and act faithfully. The two reflections—“Steadfast Steps: Walking Honestly When the Way Is Hidden” and “The Integrity of an Honest Life: Listening, Speaking, and Acting with Grace”—both reveal that integrity is the thread God uses to hold your faith together when everything else feels uncertain.

Use these journaling prompts to examine how you are walking in integrity right now—both in your waiting and in your words.

Journal Prompts: Integrity While Waiting and Walking

  1. Where in your life is God asking you to wait patiently rather than push ahead in your own strength?

  2. What does “walking securely” before God look like for you in this current season?

  3. Reflect on a time when you chose honesty even though it cost you something. What did you learn about yourself and about God’s faithfulness?

  4. In moments of delay or uncertainty, what helps you remain faithful to what is right instead of giving in to frustration or fear?

  5. How has your integrity been tested in private, and what small choices have strengthened your character?

  6. Describe a time when integrity brought you peace. What made that moment feel secure or anchored?

  7. What does it mean for you to “wait well” with integrity? How does that differ from waiting passively?

  8. Where do you sense the Holy Spirit calling you to align your actions with your convictions?

  9. How does remembering Proverbs 10:9 reshape your perspective on God’s timing?

  10. Write a prayer asking God to help you remain upright and steadfast even when progress feels slow.

Journal Prompts: Listening, Speaking, and Acting with Integrity

  1. How do you approach listening—with openness and curiosity, or with the intent to respond quickly? What might change if you listened with spiritual curiosity?

  2. What voices are loudest in your life right now, and how do they affect your ability to hear God’s truth clearly?

  3. Reflect on your speech this past week. Were there moments where honesty and love worked together? Where did they conflict?

  4. How can you ensure your words bring healing rather than harm, especially when truth is difficult to share?

  5. Identify an area where your actions could more closely reflect your faith. What would consistency look like there?

  6. When have you been tempted to compromise your values for approval or ease? What truth do you need to hold onto in that space?

  7. How can you make your daily choices—small or large—acts of integrity that glorify God?

  8. What fears or insecurities sometimes lead you to hide your true convictions?

  9. Write about someone whose integrity inspires you. What qualities in their listening, speaking, or actions challenge you to grow?

  10. How does walking in integrity bring you closer to peace, freedom, and spiritual confidence?

Integrity is not a single virtue—it is the quiet alignment of heart, word, and deed under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Whether you are learning to wait faithfully or to speak truthfully, each act of integrity strengthens your walk with God and deepens your witness before others.
