Oh Lord and my God, keep me and others in the faith strong in what is right and praiseworthy. Keep our hands from doing anything that would go against Your will. I do not wish to do anything that would jeopardize my place with You in heaven. What I have already established in this life with You is more precious than gold. Help me to never lose Your presence. The devil wishes to lure me away from following You. He tries daily to tempt me into doing things that appear to be good on the surface, but I know will only lead me to be more guilty in the end. Even as I think about my day today and this week, I know that I have done things that were wrong and sinful. Forgive me of my sins. I no longer wish to do them again. Help me live differently. Build a wall round about my life, that the evil one will not cause me to fall again. Put in me an upright heart that only desires to serve You and You alone. Not to serve sin any longer, but the power and will of the Holy Spirit. I love You more than anything that I currently own or do. Rip out of my life anything that has its roots in darkness, that Your light will be the only thing that dwells therein. I love Your commands, for they bring me peace as I obey them. I do what You say, for I love You, God. Amen.
