Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips. (Psalm 141:3 NKJV)
Abba, our God, and King, You always watch and guide us. Truly, in the world we live in, there are many temptations. These temptations are strong enough to persuade us to do and speak things that are against Your holy will. Apart from this, there are still times when we are overwhelmed by our weaknesses—the weaknesses that are the nature of our earthly bodies. But Your words, oh, our Father, are truly great. It has enough power to protect us from doing evil. Your word has revived and changed us. Your word makes us holy and worthy. Therefore, Lord, our God, we pray for You to help us make it a habit to speak Your righteousness. This will serve as a reminder to us in all situations of our lives, especially at times we are struggling with temptations. Your word gives enough strength for us to become victorious over all and so, we can abide in the holiness You have called each of us in. We fully trust that Your vigilance and support will remain with us, for we request this wholeheartedly, in Your name, Christ Jesus, our God, and Savior. Amen.
