Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;
Keep watch over the door of my lips.
Do not incline my heart to any evil thing,
To practice wicked works
With men who work iniquity;
And do not let me eat of their delicacies.
--Psalm 141:3-4 (NKJV)
Dear Lord,
May my words be words from You,
because my thoughts are thoughts like Yours,
so that my actions will be consistently in line with Your will.
Just as a guard stands at the door to keep an evil man from escaping, I need You to stand guard at the door of my lips to keep evil words from escaping my mouth.
So, help me strive to fill my heart with only good and Godly things and leave no room for evil.
Just as a guard stands at the door to keep an evil man from entering, I need You to keep my heart from contemplating evil plans that might entice me to join those who make the evil that they do seem so delicious. Show me that what they eat is a poison to my soul.
So, help me strive to fill my heart with only good and Godly things and leave no room for evil.
May my words be words from You,
because my thoughts are thoughts like Yours,
so that my actions will be consistently in line with Your will.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
