God created all of us; He put us here, and gave us free choice. Let's ask Him to look over us and protect us from misusing our free choice.
One of the great Chasidic sages would say, walking down the street: "Lead me along the true path."
Another great Chasidic sage would simply say "Guard me."
Some sages fear slipping unconsciously into self-deceit. Others simply fear the power of their own evil inclination.
What is essential is not loosing consciousness for a moment that without God and His Providence over us we are lost.
Every breath is a gift of God. Every step that we don't trip is a gift of God.
