Prayer based on Psalms 16:4. Themes: idolatry, sacrifice, loyalty

Dear Lord, please help me to remain faithful to you and not be tempted to give gifts or worship any other gods. I pray that my sorrows will not be multiplied because of any disobedience on my part.

May I always honor your name and never take the names of false gods on my lips. Thank you for your grace and mercy. Amen.
