“Make vows to the Lord Your God and fulfill them; all who are around Him are to bring gifts to Him who is to be feared.” Psalm 76:11, (NASV)
Lord my God, reveal Yourself and Your place of dwelling to my children so they may witness the splendor of Your Light and the majesty of Your mountains. Speak but a word and still their enemies while You put them to plunder. Rebuke their adversaries, oh God, and cause them to slumber. Speak judgment over the wicked, making them silent and tremble in fear. Rise up, oh God of Jacob. Save my children from their affliction and arm Yourself with Your wrath. May You oh God, who is to be feared, be pleased with my children’s gifts of sacrifice and praise, helping them to honor their vows to You. Break the spirits of my children’s enemies, I pray, and strike them down.

“He will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.” Psalm 75:10, (NASV)
Overflow my children with thanksgiving to You. Let them declare Your wonderful deeds. When the earth quakes, keep them from fear for You have chosen each appointed hour and hold the earth’s pillars firm. Oh Lord, form their hearts to be humble without pride or arrogance so they exalt You rather than themselves. Yet, I pray You will exalt them above their enemies for You are Judge over all the earth. Cut down the wicked, I plead, and lift up my children to You. Let my children sing praises to You, oh God of Jacob. “Yet God is my King from long ago, who performs acts of salvation in the midst of the earth.” Psalm 74:12, (NASV)
Oh God, reject not my children nor let Your anger smolder against them. When enemies revile and mock them, destroy them with Your right hand for You split open the seas, established the sun and moon, and set all the boundaries of the earth. Remember Your covenant and do not forget my children in their afflictions nor allow them to retreat in disgrace. Rise up, oh God, and defend them. Do not ignore their enemies or Your adversaries. Let them praise You, oh God, for Your power and mercy are great. “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” Psalm 73:26, (NASV)
Oh God, make my children pure in heart and their footing firm. Keep them from envying the earthly prosperity of the wicked. Instead, comfort them with the Hope of eternity with You. Cast the wicked down and make their footing slip as You sweep them away and destroy them with terror. When my children are grieved and embittered, hold them by their right hand and be always with them. May You guide them with Your counsel and let them taste of Your heavenly glory. Oh Lord, I pray You will be more than enough for my children where they desire nothing else but You. When their flesh and hearts fail, may You be their portion and strength. Draw near them, I plead, and be their refuge. “Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who alone works wonders. And blessed be His glorious Name forever; and may the whole earth be filled with His glory.” Psalm 72:18-19, (NASV)
Lord God of Israel, endow my children with righteousness and justice. Defend their afflictions and save my children in their times of need. I pray You will crush their oppressors, oh God, but fall like rain upon them so they will flourish and prosper. Rule in them like the unending expanse of the ocean. May they bow in humble service, bringing offerings of worship to You. Deliver and save them from oppression and violence, I plead, for they are precious to You. May You bless them with bountiful harvests and help them thrive like the grass in the fields. Without ceasing, let them praise Your glorious Name for Your works are marvelous and You will endure forever. |
