“The fear of man brings a snare, but one who trusts in the Lord will be protected.” Proverbs 29:25, (NASV)
OH sovereign Lord, give my children tender hearts of repentance so they are not destroyed by stubborn refusals to abide correction. In turn, teach them to love wisdom and justice so they may bring You joy. Oh Lord, let them not engage in flattery or evil. Instead, may they sing and be glad in Your righteousness. Give them a heart for the poor as You cultivate a spirit of integrity within them. Yet help them turn away from anger to exercise self-control and fairness as You protect them against blood thirsty men. OH Lord, let me not be afraid to correct my children so they will bring me comfort and delight. In the same way, may they see the error of their ways so they may keep the law and be blessed. Guard them from speaking and acting in haste, anger, r pride, I pray. But make them humble and trust in You. Keep my children safe, oh God, and exact justice for them over the dishonest and the wicked.
