God’s friendship was felt in my home.

“I thought, ‘Surely I will die surrounded by my family after a long, good life.

“I made a covenant with my eyesnot to look with lust at a young woman.2For what has God above chosen for us?What is our inheritance from the Almighty on high?

For lust is a shameful sin,a crime that should be punished.12It is a fire that burns all the way to hell.31:12 Hebrew to Abaddon.It would wipe out everything I own.

“For God watches how people live;he sees everything they do.22No darkness is thick enoughto hide the wicked from his eyes.

Lord God my Father,

You are perfect and I struggle to follow your plan without distraction. Keep me close and protect me from wandering from you. Protect my thoughts and actions so I may please you and represent you well.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
