A Prayer I Need to Pray More Often...

Psalm 141:3-5
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!
Let a righteous man strike me - it is a kindness;
let him rebuke me - it is oil for my head;
let my head not refuse it...

It's easy to forget how prone to sin I am, and if I am not careful to pray in this way and ask for God's grace and forgiveness daily I could easily end up living in sin and not even know how I got there...for we walk away from God one small step at a time.
