Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips! Do not let my heart incline to any evil, to busy myself with wicked deeds in company with men who work iniquity, and let me not eat of their delicacies!
It is appropriate, Lord, that my first order of business is to set a watch over me and my heart. Guide me in a regular and ongoing practice of self-examination. All desire to live according to Your will is doomed to failure if I insist on wearing muddy shoes into my life.
