“Now then, my sons, listen to me; do not turn aside from what I say. Keep to a path far from her, do not go near the door of her house.” Proverbs 5:7-8

Lord, Keep my heart pure and guard me against going down paths that lead to adultery and a great many other sins. Satisfy my heart and my life with your unfailing love that I may be faithful to you and to my spouse all the days of my life. Amen.

Following Jesus means drinking from him alone as the source of our life and joy (“drink from your own cistern”). Following Jesus means staying on the right path which his Word lays out for us as a lamp; he is after all “the way” and “the life.”
