Idols

LORD,

please don’t let—

possessions carry me away,

popularity seduce me,

fame take over me,

ingenuity allure me,

knowledge control me,

or power overtake me.

LORD,

help me not to—

allow pride to capture me,

be seized with covetousness,

exalt my arrogance,

glorify my lusts,

or let cockiness rise up in me. 

LORD,

do not let me—

yield to anxiety,

submit to worry,

bow down to my fears,

or allow depression be my master.

LORD, I would not be totally comfortable if You sat on the throne of my heart and there may be an occasionally uprising. However, there is no one like You and beside You there is no other. So LORD, if You sat on the throne of my heart, I’d really be honored.
