a prayer 4 help against sin: I wish that a guard could be placed at my mouth,that my lips could be wisely sealed.It would keep me from making mistakes & prevent me from destroying myself w/ my own tongue. o lord,my father & my master of my life,do not leave me at the mercy of my own words;dont let them cause my downfall.I wish i could be whipped for my thoughts,so that wisdom could discipline my mind.I would not want a single sin to be overlooked! Then i would not keep on sinning,making 1 mistake after another.I could not fall to my enemies & be humiliated by them. OH LORD,my father,god of my life kepp me from being arrogant;protect me from evil desires.Keep me from being overcome by greed or lust.Do not leave me at the mercy of these shameless passion..AMEN
