What does the Bible say about not being left to ourselves?

In Proverbs 4:25-27, we see the clear imperative for believers to look straight ahead and not to deviate to the right or the left. This maintains the theme that if the Lord leaves us to ourselves, we are doomed, as highlighted throughout Scripture. The true child of God is aware that they cannot save themselves and thus pleads, 'Lord, don't leave me to myself.' The apostles Peter and David exemplify this reliance on God's mercy and grace, knowing that it is only through God's intervention that they are not led astray into sin.
