“Praise the Lord! Oh give thanks to the Lord, for HE is good; for His mercy is everlasting.” Psalm 106:1, (NASV)
Let my children give praise and thanks to Your Name for You are good and Your love endures forever. Bless them, oh God, for doing what is just and right as You remember and show them favor in their times of need. As one of Your chosen, may they be blessed with prosperity and share in the joy of Your people, joining in Your inheritance in all praise. Forgive them of their sins, I plead. Save them so Your mighty power may be made known and Your promises proclaimed. Yet may they never forget Your goodness. Help my children wait upon Your council and Your timing, Father God while You keep them from temptation and grumbling. I pray no idol will be placed before You and Your ways kept so they do not provoke Your anger. In the same way, keep them from a spirit of rebellion and make their hands clean. Remember Your covenant, oh God. When they cry out, hear their distress. Save them, oh Lord, and deliver them from their enemies. Let them give thanks to Your holy Name. May my children glory in Your praise, oh God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.

“…may the heart of those who seek the Lord be joyful. Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His face continually.” Psalm 105:3-4, (NASV)
Let my children give thanks to You, oh God, as they call upon Your name, making known Your wonderful deeds. I pray they will look to You in Your strength and always seek after You for You are the Lord, their God and Judge over the whole earth. Remember Your covenants, oh Lord. Anoint my children, I pray while You also protect them from harm. May Your Word prove them true like Joseph. OH God, grant them an inheritance, instruct them with Your teaching, and bless them with Your wisdom. Yet make them fruitful and bless them with many generations of children. In the same way, cover them with Your light, illuminating their darkness. Bring my children out of the wilderness with shouts of joy into Your promised land so they may keep Your precepts and follow Your Ways. “I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.” Psalm 104:33, (NASV)
Fill my children’s souls with praises at Your great majesty and splendor. Unveil their eyes so they may see You wrapped in light, riding on the wings of the wind in Your chariot of dark clouds. Help them come to intimately know You, who set the earth on its foundation and set the boundaries of the waters deep. May You be their living water just as You quench the thirst of the beasts of wild animals or provide rest to the birds by Your open waters. Just as mountains belong to the wild goats, let my children belong to You. In the same manner, foster within them fear and reverence of You for You created the sun and marked the seasons by the moon. Open Your hands, oh God, and meet the needs of my children so they may gather up Your provisions as You satisfy them with good things. Send Your Spirit to renew them for Your glory endures forever. Yet as long as they have breath and being, let my children sing You praises. Oh God my God, may the praises of my children be pleasing unto You. “As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our wrong doings from us. Just as a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him.” Psalm 103:12-13, (NASV)
From their innermost soul, may my children praise Your Name. But let them not forget Your benefits. Forgive their sins, oh Lord, while You also heal and redeem them. Crown them with love and compassion. When they are in need, bless them with all good things. Renew them like eagles, I plead. Yet cover them with Your justice and righteousness, making known Your ways. Be compassionate and gracious to my children, oh God. In the same way, be slow to anger and abounding with Your love. Do not harbor anger against them but let Your love stretch to the heavens, removing their sins as far as the east is to the west. Oh Lord, help my children fear You for though they are like dust, Your mercy endures forever. Lead them to keep Your covenant, I pray, obeying Your Word, and doing Your Will so You may establish Your throne among their children’s descendants. With angels, heavenly hosts, and all Your great works, let my children join in praise to You forever! Hear my prayer, Lord! And let my cry for help come to You. DO not hide Your face from me on the day of my distress; incline Your ear to me; on the day when I call answer me quickly.” Psalm 102:1-2, (NASV)
Hear the prayer of my children’s heart, oh God. When they call, turn Your ear to them. Do not hide Your face but answer quickly for they wither and fail. When their enemies taunt and tears fall, show not. Your wrath but arise and have compassion. Oh Lord, bless my children with favor and find them precious. Yet, listen to their pleas and answer with kindness. I pray You will grant my children a holy inheritance of generations to come who will praise Your Name. Look down from Your sanctuary, oh God, to hear their groans and set them free. You, who are unchanging and never ending, establish my children and their descendants before You in Your presence forever. |
