Revelations Chapter 5 “Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousands , and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice: ‘Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom, and strength and honor and glory and blessing!’ “ Revelations 5:11-12, NKJV A Prayer Over Our Children Father God, may the voice of my child one day join with the voices of Your angels in the praise and worship of You. For You are the triumphing Lion of Judah and Root of David. Let her fall before You with prayers rising to join those of the saints on Your Most Holy Hill. May her mouth sing a new song proclaiming Your worthiness to every tongue, tribe, people, and nation. May You, who is worthy to take the scroll and open the seals, be Lord of her life. Purchase her with Your slain blood and make her a kingdom and priest for Your service to reign victoriously on the earth. Oh God, let her unite with the voices of thousands and tens of thousands of worshipping angels. With all that is within her, let her join in the singing of every creature in heaven, on earth, under the earth, and in the sea in their praise of You. For You are the Lamb who sits on the throne and who receives praise, honor, glory, and power forever. Amen. Good-bye Tears drip down my cheeks. I taste the salt water on my tongue. I cannot stop crying. The pain hurts too deep. The wound is too raw. I jump on the trampoline. Higher and higher my legs propel, straining for the sky. With my tears, I will worship You, I silently cry. Water welled and pooled in the corners of my eyes. My hair grazed the tree branches above, but I do not care. Take my pain as my offering, my spirit implores.

Revelation Chapter 4 “Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying: “‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,’ who was, and is, and is to come.”” Revelation 4:8, NIV Prayer Over Our Children Oh Lord, open the doors of heaven and reveal Your glorious wonders to my child. May she see the flashes of lightning and hear the rolls of thunder which surround Your throne. Oh God, how I pray that she might join with Your angelic hosts as they lift their voices and bow before You in worship. Let her proclaim Your infinite holiness as the One who is, who was, and who is to come. Oh God, I pray that her lips will overflow with glory, honor, and thanksgiving to You who sits on the throne and lives forever. Just as Your heavenly creatures lay down their crowns before You, may she also lay down her crown of life at Your feet. Oh God, I pray that she will worship You who has created and given life to all things for You are the only one worthy of receiving all glory, honor, and power forever. Amen. |
