“You are my hiding place; You will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.” Psalm 32:7
Forgive and cover my children’s sins, oh Lord, counting not their transgressions. May they confess their iniquities without deceit for You forgive and wash away our sins. When they pray, let them find You. When oceans rise, may they not be overtaken. Hide them, oh God, and protect them from trouble while You surround them with songs of deliverance. Instruct my children in the way they should go while You counsel them with Your loving yet watchful eye. Bless them with an abiding trust in You and with your unfailing love. Fill my children with songs of rejoicing and let them be glad.

“Be strong and take heart, all You who hope in the Lord.” Psalm 31:24
Oh God, be my children’s refuge. Turn and come quickly as their rock and fortress. I pray You will lead them away from the enemy’s snares, redeeming them by Your truth. May they trust You and rejoice in Your love. When they are distressed, afflicted, and weak, be merciful to them. When the wicked pursue and conspire against the, be their God. Shine Your face upon them, oh Lord, and save them with Your unfailing love. Put my children not to shame, I pray but hear their cries. In the same way, silence the wicked as You shelter my children with Your presence and keep them safe. Hide them, oh God, and instill within them reverent awe of You so they may know the storehouses of Your rich abundance. When they call out for help, hear their cries for mercy. Preserve them, oh God, and find them faithful. Strengthen and encourage my children with Your hope, I pray. “You turned my wailing into dancing; You removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent.” –Psalm 30:11-12
May my children exalt You, who lifts us from the deep and protects us from our enemies. Heal them when they call out to YOU and save them from the grave. Oh God, fill them with songs of praise for Your anger is momentary but Your favor extends a lifetime. Oh Lord, do not hide Your face from them. Instead, let them stand firm and secure in Your favor. When they cry out, hear them, oh God, and be merciful. Turn their mourning into dancing and clothe them in joy. Silence them not, I pray, but fill them with praises to You forever. “The voice of the Lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the Lord thunders over the mighty waters.” Psalm 29:3-4
God of creation, may my children ascribe to You all glory, power, and honor. Fill their hearts with the worship of Your splendor and holiness. Let them hear Your powerful and majestic voice which thunders over the waters. May they witness how Your mighty voice breaks the cedars, strikes with flashes of lightening, and shakes the desert. I pray they would intimately know You, whose voice twists the oaks, births life, and strips bare the forest. Let them cry “Holy” in Your temple. Praise You, oh Lord, who is enthroned forever. Be my children’s strength, oh God, and bless them with peace. |
