And David said,
"O LORD, I pray to You,
turn the counsel of Ahithophel
                into foolishness."

                2 Samuel 15. 31

(Keep my eyes on You, O LORD,
not on circumstances,
not on the prevailing winds
     of the opinions of others,
not on the loudest voice in the room.
Help me to seek You,
            You alone.
Protect me from anything
--fear or distraction or flattery--
that causes me to turn away from You).
