Let my prayer be counted as incense before
you … Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my
lips! My tongue needs restraining, refraining, retraining; Lord,
thank You for the Guard over my mouth Who watches over the door of my
lips…..Who guards my heart and my mind that I may pray such words that
would be fragrant before You, that would be savored by You, that would
be responded to by You. You are my All in All. I praise You!
... and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice! … Do not
let my heart incline to any evil, to busy myself with wicked deeds in
company with men who work iniquity, and let me not eat of their
delicacies! Father, that the work of my hands would be a praise
offering, a thank offering, a worshipful experience of surrender,
affirmation and dedication. I praise You again that You guard my heart
from evil, You protect my planner-mind from hiring out for wickedness
sake and my spiritual palate from evil hors d’oeuvres. What kindness
and holiness do You bestow on me. I praise Your very precious and great
Name this evening.
