Psalm 141:2-3

 

Psalm 141:2-3

May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice. Set a guard over my mouth, Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips.

I pray that the choices I make

May fall within Your plan,

I pray that I grow more like You

Than I might think I can.

I pray that I stay on Your path

As I move through each day

And I pray that You’ll help me choose

Each word that I will say.

I lift my prayers up to You, Lord,

As incense from my heart,

I may not yet be all I should,

But, with You, I can start.
