“Rescue and deliver me in Your righteousness, turn Your ear to me and save me. Be my Rock of refuge to which I can always go…” Psalm 71:2-3 Be my children’s refuge, oh God, and never put them to shame. Turn Your ears to them and deliver them by Your righteousness, I plead. Stand as their rock and Fortress yet save them from the grasp of evil men. Oh Lord, be their source of Hope and confidence. From a young age, I pray they will trust You and praise Your Name. Be their Strong Refuge so they may proclaim Your splendor from morning to night. Even when they are old, do not cast them away nor forsake them. But when their strength fades, come quickly to stand by their side. Cover their enemies with shame, scorn, and disgrace. Yet with my children, Lord, I pray You will always fill them with Hope and praise to You. In the same way, open their lips to proclaim Your mighty acts and marvelous gifts along with Your righteousness and salvation. From infancy to old age, teach my children, oh God, and do not forsake them. Rather, let them declare Your power and might to the next generation and all who are to come. When they see bitter trouble, I pray You will restore and redeem their lives, raising them up from the depths of the earth. IN the same way, may You, the holy One of Israel, once more increase their honor while You turn to comfort them. With singing, musical instruments, and Your truth, may my children praise You and shout for joy. All day long, let my children speak of Your righteous acts.

“May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You…” Psalm 70:4, (NASV) Come quickly to help my children, oh God. May You put to shame and confusion those who seek my children’s lives. I ask You to fill them with gladness and a love of Your salvation. When my children seek You, pour out Your joy. When they are poor and needy, do not delay. Hasten to their aid, oh Help and Deliverer.  “Answer me, Lord, for Your mercy is good; according to the greatness of Your compassion, turn to me, and do not hide Your face from Your servant, for I am in distress; answer me quickly.” Psalm 69:16-17, (NASV) When the waters rise and my children sink in the mire, oh Lord, save them. Let not floods engulf them nor let the deep waters claim them. When they are weary, give them firm footing and hear their calls. Even when their enemies outnumber the hairs on their heads and people seek to destroy them, bring them not to shame or disgrace. Instead, consume them with a zeal for Your house as they weep and fast. When my children are mocked, scorned, and ridiculed, give them strength. Answer them out of Your love in Your time of favor with a sure salvation. Rescue them from the mire, do not let them sink, and deliver them from the deep waters. Let not pits entrap them nor floods engulf them but answer them from the goodness of Your love. Turn to them and do not hide Your face. In the same way, draw near and rescue them so they may be redeemed from their foes. When my children’s hearts are crushed and they are left helpless, snare and blind their enemies. Pour out Your wrath and overtake their foes with Your fierce anger. Likewise, when my children are in pain and distress, May You protect them with Your salvation. Oh Lord, may my children praise You with songs and glorify You with thanksgiving. Oh God, let my children see You and be glad, seeking after You with lifted hearts. Thank You for hearing their needs and loving them. I pray they will join with all heaven and earth, the seas and all which moves in them, in praise to You. Save them, oh God, and grant them an eternal inheritance so they may dwell with You forever. 
“Sing to God, sing praises to His Name; exalt Him who rides through the deserts, whose name is the Lord, and be jubilant before Him” Psalm 68:4, (NASV) Arise, oh God, and scatter my children’s enemies, causing them to flee and perish. Fill my children with happiness and joy as they sing and extol Your Name. Let them rejoice before You, oh God, who is Father to the Fatherless and the Defender of widows. Lead forth my children through the desert wasteland and refresh them with showers of abundance. Speak Your Word to their hearts so they may greatly proclaim it as You scatter their enemies like snow. Even when they sleep, may You guard and shelter them beneath the feathers of Your wings. Oh God, let them gaze upon Your holy mountain where You reign and dwell forever. Praise You, our God and Savior, for You daily bare our burdens. Save my children, oh God. Help them escape death and crush the heads of their foes. Let them join the processional into Your holy sanctuary with songs and music. With praise, may they yield to Your power which rebukes and humbles the nations. May they sing to You, oh God, joining with the praises of all the kingdoms of the earth. Lord God Almighty, let my children proclaim Your power for You ride the ancient skies and thunder with mighty voice. Make know to them Your majesty which is over Israel and whose power is in the heavens. Oh Lord, give strength and power to my children in Your sanctuary for You are an awesome and holy God.  |
