“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.
