Here is today's prayer:
O God, our Father, help us to walk with wisdom all this day.
Help us never to flirt with temptation, and never to play with fire.
Help us never needlessly or thoughtlessly to put ourselves into a position in which temptation has the opportunity to exert its power over us.
Help us never to allow our eyes to linger, or our thoughts to dwell, on the forbidden things, lest their fascination be too strong for our resistance.
Help us to walk every step of today looking ever unto Jesus, that His light may be our guide, that His presence may be our defense, and that His love may be our strength and inspiration. This we ask for Thy love's sake. Amen.
From William Barclay's The Plain Man's Book of Prayers, page 56.
