Make Me Blind

I want to become blind.

And make a sincere covenant.

My eyes are looking everywhere.

And noticing different attractiveness.

I want to be faithful.

And make my wife happy.

I need a special blindness.

So I will not look at someone lustfully.

Beautiful and sensual women are everywhere.

And they are tempting for most men like me.

I cannot help but see them.

Please discipline my eyes.

I don't want to look a woman over from head to toe.

Nor stop a block as they go by.

I don't want to read or watch alluring things.

I must do this because I am committed.

Help me Lord and make me blind.

So I won't see and wonder why.

Give me a different kind of sightlessness.

So I won't sin against that woman, my wife and You.
