The dictionary defines faithfulness as “the
quality of being loyal, constant, steadfast,” but there is more to it than
that. Faithfulness refers to having a rock solid foundation that provides
strength, stability and reliability.
Faithfulness (pistos) is a
life so firmly anchored, that we in turn are “anchor-able.” There is a proven trustworthiness and
defining truthfulness in both word and actions.
One who is faithful can be depended upon, believed at all time and
confidently leaned on whenever needed.

O Lord, you have proven again and again and again that
you are a faithful God. A faithful God, who does no wrong, you are always
upright and just. O Lord God Almighty, who is like you? You are mighty, O Lord,
and your faithfulness surrounds you. Your constant truthfulness and
faithfulness make you completely trustworthy in all you say and in all you do.
In perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things.
I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness you
have shown to my family and me. In Your faithfulness and righteousness you have
answered my prayers and come to our relief countless times. Like a protective
parent, you have taken us under the wing of your faithfulness. Your
lovingkindness, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness beyond the
skies. It is truly immeasurable. I want
each one in my family to know how great is your faithfulness.
May it flow from my mouth in praise and from my life
as my faith in you is lived out in convictions, attitudes and actions. Please help me to lead by example by truly being
faithful in all things. I know that has
not always been the case. When I have been faithless, you have remained
faithful because you cannot deny who you are.
Your word tells me that you will not take your love from me nor will you
ever betray your faithfulness. I do not
take that for granted, but respond with heartfelt gratitude. I recommit to
choosing the faithful way and walk in the light of your word, the testimony and
example of your faithfulness.
Faithful One, may we, individually and as a family, be
living examples of your love and faithfulness. May we pursue righteousness, faithfulness,
love and peace out of pure hearts. O
Lord, may faith in you, not religious fervor, but living, dynamic partnering
with you be evident in our words, our choices and our interactions, especially
with each other. Help us to be truthful and trustworthy. Most of all, Lord, may you find us
faithful in all that you entrust to us.
To you alone goes the praise; to your name be the
glory, because of your incredible faithfulness.
