“My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me…” Psalm 101:6, (NASV) To You, Lord, may my children sing praises of Your mercy and justice. Make their ways blameless, I plead, helping them walk with integrity and truth. May they never fall away nor let perversity cling to their hearts. But may they know no evil. Keep them from slander, arrogance, deceit, and lies. Instead, may they serve You with faithful and pure hearts so they may dwell with You. Destroy the wicked, oh God, and remove all injustice.

Go before them with fire and consume their enemies, making the earth tremble and the mountains melt like wax.

Cast down all idols and be first in their lives for You are the Most High over all the earth and exalted above all other gods. Consider my children faithful, I pray. Guard their lives and deliver them from the wicked. But make their hearts upright before YOU, oh God, so they may overflow with joy and light.

For HE is our God, and we are the people of HIs pasture and the sheep of His hand.” Psalm 95:6-7, (NASV) To You, oh Rock of our salvation, may my children come singing with joy and shouting with praise. With music and songs of thanksgiving, let them extol You, the Great God and King, for You hold the depths of the earth in Your hands. Come, let them worship and bow down to You who made the seas and formed the land. In Your pastures as one of Your flock, may they kneel before You, their God and Maker.

Instead, I pray You will stamp out the wicked's jubilation and heap humiliation upon their boasts. Yet, keep my children from foolishness and bless them with Your wisdom for You know the thoughts of man. Oh Lord, With Your loving hand of discipline, bless my children through the teachings of Your law while You grant them reprieve from their adversaries. Do not abandon my children, God of vengeance, but make them upright in heart so that they may follow You in righteousness. Take Your stand against their enemies, oh Lord, and be their Help. When their feet slip, support them with Your love. When they are anxious, let their souls derive joy from Your comfort. In the face of corruption and death, destroy their enemies. Be my children’s Fortress and God, the Rock of their Refuge.  “The Lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty; the Lord has clothed and encircled Himself with strength. Indeed, the world is firmly established; it will not be moved.” Psalm 93:1, (NASV) You, Lord, who reigns, allow my children to witness Your strength and majesty. For You firmly established the world and Your eternal throne from long ago. Lift up their voices with the pounding waves in worship of You, oh God, whose might extends beyond the thundering of the great waters and the breakers of the deep sea. Adorn my children with Your holiness, I plead, and root their footing firmly upon Your unfailing statues.

Oh God, bless them with the knowledge and understanding of Your great works and the depths of Your thoughts. I pray they will exalt Your Name forever as You scatter and destroy their enemies. Exalt the horn of their strength, oh God, and anoint them with oil. Plant them in Your house so they might flourish and grow strong in Your courts. Even in their old age, I pray You will help them bear fruit and brim with vitality to proclaim Your justice. Be their Rock, I pray, for You are good.  |
