Temptation can sneak up on us in moments of weakness, and sin can take root before we even recognize it. Psalm 141 is a cry for purity—a request for God to guard our hearts, our lips, and our steps. This prayer is for those seeking to live set apart, asking for accountability, humility, and a laser focus on Christ. If you believe this prayer could bless someone else, please share it on Facebook or wherever you share inspiration.

Prayer

Holy Spirit, protect me from snares that would pull me into wickedness. Display every prayer for righteousness right before Your eyes. Place Your hand over my mouth to prevent me from speaking wickedness. Help me to stand guard over my heart. Push people out of my path that would tempt me to sin. Guide my feet away from the places where wickedness abounds. Prevent pleasure from being my weak spot! Fill my life with righteous mentors that’ll rebuke me when they see me wavering, and give me the humility to receive their rebuke. Place blinders on my eyes so I can only see Jesus. I pray this in His name because He is the author and perfecter of my faith (Hebrew 12:2). 

Psalms 141:1-10

I call to you, Lord, come quickly to me; hear me when I call to you.
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.
Do not let my heart be drawn to what is evil so that I take part in wicked deeds along with those who are evildoers; do not let me eat their delicacies.

Let a righteous man strike me—that is a kindness; let him rebuke me—that is oil on my head.
My head will not refuse it, for my prayer will still be against the deeds of evildoers.
Their rulers will be thrown down from the cliffs, and the wicked will learn that my words were well spoken.
They will say, “As one plows and breaks up the earth, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of the grave.”

But my eyes are fixed on you, Sovereign Lord; in you I take refuge—do not give me over to death.
Keep me safe from the traps set by evildoers, from the snares they have laid for me.
Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety.
