Do not enter the path of the wicked,

and do not walk

           in the way of the evil.

Avoid it,

do not go on it,

turn away from it

                and pass on.

              Proverbs 4. 14-15

(We are surrounded by distractions

   carefully designed to

   catch our attention

           and turn us away from God.

Don't go there.

Don't even look.

Step away and no one gets hurt.

We can never know

    what "little innocent thing"

    will grab hold.

And we will never realize

    how our actions impact and influence

    everyone around us.

This may not even be about us.)

O LORD,

Help us to keep our eyes on You

and watch that our steps

       point us to Your ways

       and on Your paths.

May what we choose,

        what we say and do,

   and on what we dwell

           be honoring to You.

Direct our steps to You today.

Align our hearts with Yours.

Keep us from distractions

    that we may be sensitive

                   to Your nudges.
