Yet when I hoped for good, evil came; when I looked for light, then came darkness. 27The churning inside me never stops; days of suffering confront me.

“I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a young woman. 2For what is our lot from God above, our heritage from the Almighty on high?

“If I have walked with falsehood or my foot has hurried after deceit— 6let God weigh me in honest scales and he will know that I am blameless—

if I have concealed my sin as people do, by hiding my guilt in my heart

Lord God my Father,

Give me strength to deal with life as it is, give me Peace to keep my focus on you alone. Protect me from evil desires and keep my heart close to you. Purify my life so I may honor you with all thoughts.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
