“I spread out my hands to You; my soul longs for You, like a weary land.” Psalm 143:6, (NASV) Oh God, listen to my children’s prayers. Hear their cries for mercy. Be faithful, oh righteous Lord and come to their relief. Yet do not cast judgement for none is without blemish. Oh God, when their hearts grow faint and they are crushed by their enemies, strengthen them through meditation on Your great works and faithfulness. May they spread out their hands and thirst after You. But answer them quickly, oh Lord, and do not hide Your face. Each morning remind my children of Your faithfulness and lead them by Your Word so they may trust in You. Be their hiding place, I pray, rescuing them from their enemies. Yet teach them to do Your Will while Your Spirit leads them to firm ground. Oh Lord, in Your righteousness, deliver my children from trouble. In the same way, in Your unfailing love, silence their enemies and destroy their foes so they may serve You.

“Give Your attention to my cry, for I have been brought very low; rescue me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me. Bring my soul out of prison, so that I may give thanks to Your name.” Psalm 142:6-7, (NASV) Oh Lord, hear my children’s cries for mercy. Let them pour out their troubles to You. When their spirit grows faint or snares are set to entrap them, light their way, I pray. Be their refuge and portion. Yet listen to their cries and save them. Oh God, set my children free so they may praise You because You are good.  “Lord, I call upon You; hurry to me! Listen to my voice when I call to You!” Psalm 141:1, (NASV) Oh Lord, listen to my children’s cries and come quickly to their aid. May their prayers rise like fragrant offerings before You. I pray You will keep close watch over them, guarding their mouths so they do not engage in evil. Instead, fix their eyes upon You, oh sovereign Lord, and grant them refuge beneath the shadow of Your wings. Yet protect my children against death, keep them from snares, and grant them safety.  ” I said to the Lord, ‘You are my God; listen, Lord, to the sound of my pleadings.’” Psalm 140:6, (NASV) Rescue and protect my children from evil men of violence whose tongues are as sharp as serpents. Oh Lord, keep them from the hands of the wicked and their traps. Be their God and hear their cries for mercy. May You shield my children’s head in the day of battle while You thwart the plans of their enemies. Yet heap burning coals upon the wicked, cover their heads with trouble, and throw them into the fire. In the same way, secure justice for my children, oh God. But uphold their cause so they may praise You and live in Your presence as righteous and upright people.  "Search me, God, and know my heart; put me to the test and know my anxious thoughts; and see if there is any hurtful way in me.” Psalm 139:23-24, (NASV) Search my children, oh God, and know them. Know when they sit and when they rise. Perceive their thoughts and discern when they go out or lie down for You know all their ways. Oh Lord, know what words they will speak even before they utter a sound. In the same way, may Your spirit and presence encircle them about from before and from behind. If they go up to the heavens or make their beds in the deep, lead them by Your right hand. If they settle on the wings of the dawn or on the far side of the seas, be with them. Let them give praise to You for You made their in most being and knit them together in the womb in fearful and wonderful ways. Yet You saw them and composed their days even before they were born. Make precious Your thoughts towards them, oh Lord, infinite in their number and more than the sand. When they wake, I pray You will still be with them. But put the wicked to death, oh God, for they speak against You and blaspheme Your Name. Fill their hearts with passion against Your enemies, I plead, despising those who hate You and rise up against You. Search my children and know their hearts. Test them and know their anxious thoughts to see if there is anything offensively grievous within them. Lead my children in Your everlasting ways, oh God, I pray.  |
