Meditate on verse 2.

Keep my commandments and live,

 and my teaching as the apple of your eye.

Pray Proverbs 7 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, help _______ and me keep Your Words

and treasure Your commandments within us. 

Let us keep Your commandments and live;

 let us keep Your teaching as the apple of our eye.

 Let us bind them on our fingers

 and write them on the tablet of our hearts. 

Make Your wisdom our sister

and understanding our intimate friend,

 that they may keep us from an adulteress,

from the foreigner who flatters with her words.

LORD, do not let us be naïve and lack sense!

Do not let us be seized by

 the boisterous and rebellious!

LORD, protect us from seduction!

 Do not let us follow a harlot

 as an ox goes to the slaughter,

 or as one in fetters goes to the discipline of a fool.

 Do not let our choices become

 an arrow that pierces our livers.

 Do not let us be like a bird

hastening to the snare. 

Keep us from choosing things and people

 that will cost us our lives!

LORD, let us listen to You and pay

 attention to the Words of Your mouth.

 Do not let our hearts turn aside

 to the ways of the adulteress;

do not let us stray into her paths. 

For many are the victims she has

cast down, and numerous are all her slain. 

Her house is the way to Sheol, descending

 to the chambers of death.

LORD, let our house be filled with

Your Life, leading others to You.

For the sake of Your name, Jesus~”
